Jeffrey Meyers, M.D. serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics, Neonatology at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry and holds the position of Associate Chief Quality Officer at Golisano Children's Hospital. His role encompasses leadership in quality improvement, quality assurance, and patient safety initiatives for pediatric care across the UR Medicine system.
His educational background includes:
- MD from Medical University Of Ohio (2006)
- Residency in Pediatrics at Penn State Milton S Hershey Medical Center (2006-2009)
- Fellowship in Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine at Penn State Milton S Hershey Medical Center (2009-2012)
Dr. Meyers' research focuses on optimizing growth trajectories for premature infants to improve long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes, with particular emphasis on postnatal growth patterns and their physiological consequences. His work bridges clinical neonatology with rigorous quality improvement methodologies to enhance patient safety and reduce preventable harm in NICU settings. Current investigations include antibiotic stewardship initiatives and metabolic implications of human milk fortification.
Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2020-2025) reveals a dominant focus on quality improvement science applied to neonatal care, with recurring themes in antibiotic stewardship, fortifier-related metabolic complications, and collaborative approaches to reducing unplanned extubations. His work frequently involves multicenter partnerships through the Vermont Oxford Network and NYS Perinatal Quality Collaborative, demonstrating strong translational impact from local implementation to national quality improvement frameworks.
Scientific recognition includes:
- Best Scholarly Activity Project (2009)
- Dr. and Mrs. El-Shafie Scholarship (2005)
As an active leader in national quality improvement collaboratives, Dr. Meyers has directed multiple initiatives including the Vermont Oxford Network's internet-based learning collaborative (2019-2022) and current engagement with the NYS Perinatal Quality Collaborative. His work emphasizes systematic implementation of evidence-based protocols through multidisciplinary teamwork and robust data infrastructure development.
