His work led to the development of CDC’s Adult Sepsis Event surveillance paradigm that is now being used by hospitals and researchers to better track sepsis rates, provide new insights into epidemiology and treatment strategies, and drive further innovations in care.ĭr. As an investigator in the CDC Prevention Epicenters Program, he has led multiple studies that have advanced our understanding of sepsis epidemiology and improved the nation’s capacity to monitor its incidence and outcomes, including a multicenter collaborative study that estimated the national burden of sepsis using clinical data from the electronic health record systems of over 400 hospitals.

Within the Mass General Brigham healthcare system, he is involved with multiple initiatives aimed at preventing healthcare-associated infections and has been an institutional leader in improving sepsis care and organizing the infection control response to COVID-19.

Rhee’s clinical and research interests include sepsis, infection control, healthcare epidemiology, and infections in critically ill and immunocompromised patients, with a particular focus on using electronic health record data to improve disease surveillance, diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and quality of care. He graduated summa cum laude from Georgetown University School of Medicine and completed his internal medicine residency, chief residency, and critical care fellowship at Stanford University Hospital prior to his infectious disease fellowship in the combined Massachusetts General Hospital / Brigham and Women’s Hospital program and MPH degree at Harvard School of Public Health.ĭr.
