Bio
I wholeheartedly enjoy caring for patients with critical illness and emergency surgical conditions. I aim to provide high-quality, evidence-based emergency surgical and critical care to those in need. I treat every patient like I would my own family member. Dr. Tignanelli is an Acute Care Surgeon at the University of Minnesota, providing trauma, emergency surgery, critical care, and ECMO care for critically ill patients. He is triple board-certified in General Surgery, Surgical Critical Care, and Clinical Informatics. His research lab, MNCCORE, includes over 30 researchers developing and deploying informatics-based tools to improve the delivery of healthcare within and beyond the University of Minnesota system. His research focuses on the development and validation of machine learning and AI-enabled decision support systems, as well as the implementation, user-centered design, and scaling of interoperable clinical decision support tools.
Dr. Tignanelli is a tenured Associate Professor of Surgery in the Division of Acute Care Surgery at the University of Minnesota. Within the University of Minnesota, Dr. Tignanelli is also the Associate Dean for Data Science, co-Director for UMN’s Program for Clinical Artificial Intelligence, and co-Director for UMN’s Quality Outcomes, Discovery and Evaluation Core, which oversees the UMN’s clinical data repository. He has published over 125 papers, and his research program focuses on the implementation of an evaluation of AI-enabled and non-AI-based clinical decision support systems into practice with the goal of improving the delivery of evidence-based care. His research program has received $29 million in direct funding from the Gates Foundation, NIH, AHRQ, and the Henry M Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine at the principal investigator or director level.
