During his first tenure at Boston Children's Hospital, he was instrumental in the development of "T3" (Tracking, Trajectory, and Triggering), a web-based early warning system that helps ICU staff assess the patient's physiologic state at their bedside. He also co-founded "Risky Business," the groundbreaking series of conferences focusing on risk management, patient safety, and safety awareness.
Pertaining to his educational pursuits, Dr. Laussen obtained his medical degree from the Melbourne University Medical School in Australia, before completing fellowships in both anesthesia and pediatric critical care medicine.

Anesthesiology is the medical specialty concerned with the total perioperative care of patients before, during, and after surgery. It encompasses anesthesia, intensive care medicine, critical emergency medicine, and pain medicine. Anesthesiologists have the primary responsibility of monitoring the patient's cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal and central nervous systems during surgery. In addition to basic measurements of pulse, blood pressure,respiration and temperature, they often use ultrasound, blood gas analysis, and invasive monitoring to maintain patients' well-being during surgery.
Intensive care medicine, also called critical care medicine, is a medical specialty that deals with seriously or critically ill patients who have, are at risk of, or are recovering from conditions that may be life-threatening. A critical care specialist is a medical specialist trained and assessed to be proficient in the comprehensive clinical management of critically ill patients as the leader of a multidisciplinary team.
Throughout his career, Dr. Laussen has achieved significant success in recruitment strategies for new faculty, reduction of Serious Safety Events, development of a sustainable research structure, and growth of world-renowned training programs.
