Prior to coming to Minnesota, Sainfort
was the associate dean for
interdisciplinary programs in the College of
Engineering at Georgia Tech, director of the
Health Systems Institute, a collaborative
initiative at Georgia Tech and Emory
University, and the William W. George
professor of health systems in the Wallace
H. Coulter Department of Biomedical
Engineering at Georgia Tech and Emory
University School of Medicine. He also held
appointments as a professor in the School of
Industrial and Systems Engineering and the
College of Management at Georgia Tech.
Sainfort's research and expertise focus
on medical decision making under risk and
uncertainty, health outcomes modeling and
measurement, health risk perception and
assessment, health status assessment and
monitoring, and health-related performance
measurement and analysis. Examples of these
issues include patients facing choices about
cancer treatment, health care administrators
deciding whether to invest in costly medical
technology, and policymakers weighing issues
of how to best invest taxpayer money for
prevention strategies.
Sainfort has published more than 130
refereed publications and has served as
principal investigator on more than $13
million in contracts and grants. He is an
editorial board member for several leading
journals and periodically reviews
manuscripts for many other journals. He has
served as chair of several conferences and
has served on numerous scientific and/or
organizing committees for several
professional societies. He also is an expert
consultant for the health care industry. His
clients include health care delivery
organizations, medical devices companies,
clinical laboratories, and pharmaceutical,
insurance, and information technology
companies.
