Brian Quinn has maintained a keen focus on improving patient outcomes through the development and implementation of risk assessment and mitigation strategies, both locally and nationally. Through national multicenter collaboration, Dr. Quinn has been part of numerous ongoing projects involving outcomes research, assessment of procedural risk, and implementation of various patient-centered risk mitigation strategies using quality improvement methodology as a member of a large multicenter collaborative, the Congenital Cardiac Catheterization Project on Outcomes (C3PO). Additionally, Dr. Quinn has developed a system to assess risk of radiation exposure in the catheterization laboratory with a focused longitudinal assessment methodology used to reduce radiation exposure across all participating centers in the multicenter collaborative.
Research Background
Brian Quinn received his MD from Eastern Virginia Medical School. He completed an internship, residency, and fellowship at Children's Hospital Boston.
