Dr. Kellogg serves as vice president of patient safety and infection prevention at MedStar Health. Under her leadership, the system implemented its high reliability organization “2.0” initiative systemwide, while safety reporting increased more than fourfold, a key marker of an improved safety culture. She also led the infection prevention response during the Covid-19 pandemic, coordinating policy, contact tracing, supply chain and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reporting with exceptional effectiveness. A national thought leader, Dr. Kellogg’s research has influenced tools such as Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality’s “CANDOR” toolkit, and she has been awarded over $4.7 million in safety science grants. Her work has been featured by The Leapfrog Group as a model of ethical harm event response and earned the “Robert Wears Safety Award” for 2023.
