Jessica Keim Malpass, PhD, RN, CPNP-AC, FAAN
Biography
A practicing acute care pediatric nurse practitioner in hematology-oncology, Keim-Malpass integrates clinical expertise with research at the intersection of health economics, artificial intelligence, and implementation science. Her federally funded program of research focuses on improving care for children and families facing serious illness, with particular emphasis on pediatric sepsis, acute myeloid leukemia, end-of-life trajectories, and cancer survivorship. She has led NIH- and AHRQ-funded projects advancing microsimulation models, decision-support tools, and health communication strategies to reduce uncertainty and support patient- and family-centered decision-making.
A Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing, Keim-Malpass is recognized nationally for advancing equitable innovation in precision medicine, digital health, and nursing science.
