Maddox is a practicing cardiologist, a professor of medicine (cardiology) at the Washington University School of Medicine and a health services researcher.
The Innovation Lab catalyzes care delivery innovation through research and development. To date, the Lab has developed innovations in predictive analytics in inpatient care, critical care, and palliative care; remote patient monitoring in heart failure, post-operative, and post-partum patients; patient transportation for ambulatory and cancer patients; and voice assistants in inpatient supply chain and pre-operative patients.
As a researcher, Maddox’s interests have focused on health care delivery innovation, learning health care systems, prevention of coronary artery disease, optimal care for cardiac patients undergoing noncardiac surgery, and quality of care for cardiac patients.
Maddox has authored more than 230 peer-reviewed publications, received multiple grants exploring optimal cardiovascular care and outcomes, and holds national leadership positions at the ACC and American Heart Association.
