  • Biography

    Dr. Coon is a professor of pediatrics at Seattle Children's and an Executive Council member for the Pediatric Research in Inpatient Settings (PRIS) Network. He is a national leader in pediatric high-value care research and pragmatic clinical trials involving common pediatric conditions that lead to hospitalization. He and his collaborators have examined the comparative effectiveness of common pediatric medical interventions including prolonged intravenous antibiotic therapy, high-flow nasal cannula, and post-hospitalization follow-up. Dr. Coon recently served as a principal investigator for the Bronchiolitis Follow-up Intervention Trial (BeneFIT), a multicenter pragmatic RCT conducted across four hospitals in two healthcare systems, the University of Utah and Standford University. BeneFIT compared as-needed post hospitalization follow-up to automatic post-hospitalization follow-up, finding that as-needed follow-up is a promising post-hospitilization follow-up strategy for children with bronchiolitis (Coon et al, JAMA Pediatrics 2020). Dr. Coon is the principal investigator for the Follow-up Automatically vs As-Needed Comparison (FAAN-C, pronounced "fancy" trial), which is funded by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute. FAAN-C is a pragmatic RCT that builds on BeneFIT to examine the comparative effectivenss of automatic vs as-needed follow-up for children hospitalized with other common infections, including pneumonia, skin and soft tissue infection, UTI and gastroenteritis. Dr. Coon is also the principal investigator of an R13 conference grant from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the goal of which is to identify the most important and feasible RCT questions in the field of pediatric hospital medicine.
