Dr. McGrath has a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Drexel University and M.S. and Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Rutgers University. She worked for the Naval Air Warfare Center from 1984-1997 and Lockheed Martin from 1998-2000, where her research focused primarily on intelligent software development for military applications. Dr. McGrath was at the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College from 2000-2011, where as a faculty member she developed and taught courses in electrical, computer, and biomedical engineering and led research in mobile computing and intelligent software applications for biomedical, emergency management, and command and control applications. McGrath joined Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in 2011. In her role as Director of Performance Improvement she led the development and operation of the Value Institute until 2014. She is a certified Lean Six Sigma Blackbelt. McGrath continues to lead design and development of patient safety systems as Director of Research in the AHRQ-supported Patient Safety Learning Laboratory. The laboratory is currently focused on failure to rescue systems and early detection of patient deterioration. She was chair of the Chair of the D-H Clinical Monitoring Committee from 2014-2017, serves on the Department of Anesthesiology Research Committee, and is an Associate Professor at The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Research at Dartmouth College.Dr. McGrath has a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Drexel University and M.S. and Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Rutgers University.
