Dr. Steinberg is a physician-scientist focused on improving outcomes of patients with acute neurological illness and disorders of consciousness. Her work has confirmed that the process of neurological prognostication is common, imprecise, variable and may result in many preventable deaths. Therefore, she studies physicians' cognitive approach to neurologic prognostication after acute injury with a focus on anoxic brain injury. Dr. Steinberg's goal is to develop interventions to improve prognostication, which will prevent both the inappropriate withdrawal of life-sustaining therapies in recoverable cases and futile care in cases where recovery is impossible.
