CLIF Consortium
The Common Longitudinal ICU data Format Consortium standardizes critical care data across 17 institutions and 46 hospitals to enable rapid, privacy-preserving multi-center research. Founded by Dr. Parker in 2023.

Our Approach
An integrated cycle of ethical analysis and empirical research.
“Although some are better than others, no single principle allocates interventions justly. Rather, morally relevant simple principles must be combined into multiprinciple allocation systems.”
— Persad, Wertheimer & Emanuel, The Lancet, 2009
The Parker HCA Lab is a quantitative bioethics lab, leveraging advanced data science methods and normative analysis to engage the wicked problem of the allocation of scarce healthcare resources. We believe both methods are equally important to generate satisfactory solutions.
Research Areas
Our work spans three interconnected domains of scarce healthcare resource allocation.
Research Spotlights
Featured publications from the lab
United States Candidate Risk Score (US-CRS) for Predicting Death Without Transplant in Adult Heart Transplant Candidates
A new risk score for heart transplant candidates predicts mortality on the waiting list, improving allocation beyond the current priority-tier system.
Common Longitudinal ICU Data Format (CLIF)
The CLIF consortium establishes a common data standard for ICU data science, enabling privacy-preserving federated research across multiple hospital systems.
