A radiologist and champion of patient-centered care, Rasu Shrestha, MD, MBA, is a leader in applying medical informatics to the delivery of health care in an effort to improve safety, quality and efficiency.

At UPMC, he is focused on tapping vast repositories of patient data to provide truly meaningful information and intelligence to clinicians at the point of care.
