Vivian Ho, MD, is a second-year Stanford Intermountain Fellow and a resident at the Division of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery at Stanford. Dr. Ho is also completing coursework for the Masters in Biomedical Informatics. Her research leverages epidemiological and machine learning methods to evaluate surgical diagnostics and decision-making tools, to reduce unnecessary testing and streamline the pathway from diagnosis to intervention. Previously, she has used national databases to delineate gender differences in outcomes of aortic surgery and the effect of systemic anticoagulation on patients with traumatic aortic injury. She is particularly interested in using the electronic medical record as a source of clinical data and a platform for clinical decision-making support.
