Professor
Baylor College of Medicine

Hardeep Singh, MD MPH, is a Professor of Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, Houston. He leads a portfolio of multidisciplinary research focused on quality and safety, with a primary emphasis on measuring and reducing diagnostic errors in healthcare, improving the use of health information technology, and transforming healthcare systems. His research has informed several national and international patient safety initiatives and policy reports, including those by the National Academy of Medicine (NAM), the CDC, the OECD, the WHO, and the White House. He has co-chaired and participated on several national and international panels and workgroups focused on measuring or improving patient safety and diagnostic excellence, and helped develop pragmatic resources, including the ONC SAFER Guides, Safer Dx Checklist, Measure Dx, and Calibrate Dx, to promote patient safety in clinical practice.



Singh’s recent contributions include system strategies and policy-level approaches for accelerating climate action and environmental sustainability in healthcare. He is a member of the NAM Climate Collaborative and helped develop NAM’s “Key Actions to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions by U.S. Hospitals and Health Systems.” He co-chaired the Technical Expert Panel that developed “Reducing Healthcare Carbon Emissions: A Primer on Measures and Actions for Healthcare Organizations to Mitigate Climate Change,” released by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Singh currently serves on the Executive Committee of The Lancet Commission on Sustainable Healthcare and co-leads its Environmental Performance and Quality Measures working group. He and his collaborators from the Federal Health Systems Learning Network were awarded the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Green Champions Award for their initiatives on measuring and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in federal healthcare systems.



Singh has received several prestigious awards for his pioneering work, including the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) from President Obama in 2014 and the 2021 John M. Eisenberg Patient Safety and Quality Award for Individual Lifetime Achievement.
