Denver Health Emergency Medicine Research
Welcome!
The Department of Emergency Medicine at Denver Health Medical Center has a long-standing history of performing collaborative research. This site was developed to highlight the components of our research program, one that includes a breadth of investigators, content areas, and expertise.
Over the past several years, our program has grown to include nearly $10.5 million dollars in external research and programmatic funding and the development of intra- and inter-departmental collaborations to further support our mission.
In addition to details about our investigators and the products of our program, you will find details of the “Denver Emergency Department HIV Testing Research Consortium” embedded in this site. This group began in 2004 and has grown to support health services research in the area of emergency department-based HIV testing.
Our research program is also strongly rooted in training the next generation of scientists in emergency medicine. We strive to do this across several levels, including premedical undergraduates (as part of the “Applied Clinical Research” course developed in conjunction with the University of Colorado Boulder), residents in emergency medicine (as part of an integrated “Evidence-Based Emergency Medicine” curriculum to teach research methods), fellows (including a rigorous two-year clinical research fellowship), and faculty (through extensive collaboration and mentorship).
With this in mind, please take a look around and don’t hesitate to let us know what you think.
We hope you enjoy!

Several of our HIV-related manuscripts have recently been accepted for publication:
Haukoos et al.'s abstract titled "Enhanced Targeted HIV Screening Using the Denver HIV Risk Score Outperforms Nontargeted Screening in the Emergency Department" has been selected for oral and poster presentations at the 2012 Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI), to be held on March 5-8, 2012.

The latter of which was listed as one of Annals of Emergency Medicine's top 25 downloads from July-September 2011.Several of our HIV-related manuscripts have recently been accepted for publication:
- September 2011 - The American Journal of Epidemiology accepted Haukoos et al.'s manuscript titled "Derivation and Validation of the Denver HIV Risk Score for Targeted HIV Screening".
- August 2011 - Academic Emergency Medicine accepted Haukoos et al.'s manuscript titled "Use of Kiosks and Patient Understanding of Opt-Out and Opt-In Consent for Routine Rapid HIV Screening in the Emergency Department".
- August 2011 - The American Journal of Public Health accepted Sankoff et al.'s manuscript titled "Payer Status, Race, Ethnicity, and Acceptance of Free Routine Opt-out Rapid HIV Screening Among Emergency Department Patients".
Haukoos et al.'s abstract titled "Enhanced Targeted HIV Screening Using the Denver HIV Risk Score Outperforms Nontargeted Screening in the Emergency Department" has been selected for oral and poster presentations at the 2012 Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI), to be held on March 5-8, 2012.
