Sarah Tabbutt, MD, PhD

ATTENDING PHYSICIAN CARDIAC INTENSIVE CARE UNIT. Co-lead of mock code program.

SINGLE VENTRICLE HOME MONITORING PROGRAM. Physician lead for the Benioff Children's Hospital SF Campus home monitoring program.

HEART CENTER DATA TEAM. Physician lead for the Benioff Children's Hospitals Heart Center Data Team which crosses campuses. We currently manage the STS, PC4, PAC3 and IMPACT registries. We support the recently started CNOC registry. Our Dashboard provides allows data sharing for BCH and granular data for sections within the heart center. We provide heart center data for both quality and research interests.

PEDIATRIC CARDIAC CRITICAL CARE CONSORTIUM (PC4). I have been involved with PC4 since its conception in 2008. Former chair of the data committee and member of the scientific review, audit and executive committees. I am the incoming Executive Director in 2020. PC4 is an active collaborative. Our faculty are involved in the Maternal Fetal Project (Martina Steurer-Muller) and Cardiac Arrest Prevention Initiative (Amy McCammond). Our fellows have also led PC4 research projects resulting in publications (Amy Romer, Emily Morell).

PEDIATRIC CARDIAC INTENSIVE CARE SOCIETY (PCICS). Former member of the Executive Committee and Co-chair of the Connections Committee. Currently the lead of the Website Committee. Lead for the Task Force Initiative on Standardizing Eduction and Training for Cardiac Critical Care.
