Dr. Musuuza's scholarly interests include de-implementation of low-value care and the optimization of high-value care. Prior to starting residency training in 2021, his research focused on implementation of infection prevention interventions in inpatient settings. In 2020/21, he was a Principal Investigator of a VA-funded pilot study examining the feasibility of reducing non-guideline-concordant proton pump inhibitor use among hospitalized patients to lower the risk of adverse events like Clostridioides difficile infection. He also co-led a nationwide study on chlorhexidine (CHG) bathing in both ICU and non-ICU settings across five VA and three non-VA hospitals, which resulted in a freely available CHG bathing toolkit at UW's HIPxChange: https://hipxchange.org/toolkit/chgbathing/. He is dedicated to furthering research in stewardship, particularly in the de-implementation of low-value and non-guideline-concordant medical care.
