About Anping Xie
Primary Academic Title
Associate Professor of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine
Background
Dr. Anping Xie is an Associate Professor in the Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine and a principal faculty member of the Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He received his Ph.D. in Industrial and Systems Engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2013.
Dr. Xie is a pragmatic human factors researcher with formal training in socio-technical systems engineering, usability engineering, implementation science, and mixed-methods research. His research focuses on using human factors and systems engineering approaches to optimize healthcare work systems and processes and, therefore, improve the quality and safety of care. His work integrates qualitative and quantitative methodologies to better understand complex clinical environments and to design, implement, and evaluate system-level interventions.
He has been collaborating with different healthcare professionals to address a broad range of health care challenges (e.g., patient- and family-centered care, diagnostic stewardship, infection control and prevention, pain management and prescription opioid use) across various clinical settings (e.g., pediatrics, critical care, surgery). He has served as a PI or Co-I on numerous federally funded projects supported by agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
