Heyi Li
<p>Heyi Li, MD, is an attending physician and Assistant Professor, Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Montefiore Einstein. Her clinical focus is on the management of acute and chronic disorders of the lung and breathing, such as chronic obstructive lung diseases, asthma, interstitial lung diseases, infectious lung diseases and lung nodules. She performs airway and chest procedures including bronchoscopies and thoracentesis, and also provides consultations on smoking cessation and respiratory rehabilitation.</p><p>After earning her Bachelor of Engineering degree at Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China in 2011, she continued her education with the institution’s School of Medicine, earning her Doctor of Medicine in 2015. Dr Li’s postdoctoral training brought her to the United States, completing a three-year residency in internal medicine at John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County in 2019 and a pulmonary and critical care fellowship at Mayo Clinic at Rochester, Minnesota in 2022.</p><p>Dr. Li’s clinical research focuses on care delivery research and implementation science. Her goal is to develop a mature line of inquiry in implementation science, focused on both conceptual frameworks and pragmatic implementation strategies. She has shared her work through peer-reviewed journals and has presented it at regional and national conferences. Dr. Li has also been a periodic reviewer for <em>Critical Care Medicine</em> and the <em>American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine</em>.</p><p>Dr. Li is board certified in Internal Medicine and Pulmonary Medicine by the American Board of Internal Medicine. She is a member of the American College of Chest Physicians, the American Thoracic Society and the Society of Critical Care Medicine.</p>

<p>Despite tremendous progress, exact mechanism of hospital transmission of infections remans uncertain. My research interest lies in understanding mechanism of transmisison of <em>Clostridioides difficile</em> in acute care setting. Specifically, I would like to understand spatio-temporal factors involved in <em>Clostridioides difficile</em> acquisition and transmission, and apply process improvement methodology to limit HAI trasnmission. I am also interested in leveraging EMR data and healthcare informatics tools to improve early recognition and management of sepsis. </p>
<p>My clinical infectious diseases interest lies is preventing, treating and managing infections with patients with immune-mediated inflammatory disease (IMID), including patients with primary and secondary immunedeficiencies as well as drug induced immune dysregulation. </p>
