Dr. James Krinsley is an Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and has been Director of Critical Care at Stamford Hospital in Stamford, CT. since 1998. After graduating from Yale College he received his MD from Cornell University Medical College in 1980 and completed his Residency in Internal Medicine at New York University and his Fellowship in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Yale University School of Medicine.

His most recent work, published in The Mayo Clinic Proceedings in August 2004, reported a 29% reduction in mortality of ICU patients treated with an intensive glucose management protocol and was the basis of Stamford hospital’s receipt of the 2004 Codman Award, given by JCAHO.  Krinsley’s recent publication (CHEST) outlines Stamford Hospital ~$1.3 M cost savings resulting from institution intensive insulin protocols in the ICU.
