Assistant Professor
Harvard Medical School
Boston, Massachusetts
Dr. Rhee is an Assistant Professor of Population Medicine at Harvard Medical School / Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute, a critical care and infectious disease physician, and Assistant Hospital Epidemiologist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. His clinical and research interest is the epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of sepsis and infections in critically ill patients, with a particular focus on using electronic health record data to improve disease surveillance and quality of care. As the clinical co-lead for the Partners Sepsis Collaborative, he has helped direct multidisciplinary improvements in sepsis recognition and management across the Partners HealthCare System. As an investigator in the Prevention Epicenters Program, he has led several CDC-funded projects focusing on sepsis epidemiology, including a multicenter study that estimated the U.S. national burden of sepsis using electronic health record data from over 400 hospitals. This work led to the development of CDC’s "Adult Sepsis Event" surveillance paradigm that is now being used to help healthcare systems and researchers better track sepsis incidence and outcomes, provide new insights into sepsis epidemiology, and drive further innovations in care. He is a member of the Massachusetts Sepsis Consortium, the IDSA Sepsis Task Force, and the American College of Emergency Physicians’ Sepsis Guidelines Panel.
