His primary interests include leveraging health informatics tools including the electronic health record (EHR), data analytics, digital health tools, and artificial intelligence to improve healthcare quality, safety, value, and equity.

As a hospital medicine physician, Dr. Muniyappa provides direct care on a variety of inpatient medicine services and teaches and supervises residents and medical students at UCSF Parnassus Hospital.

As a clinical informaticist, Dr. Muniyappa leads several initiatives to improve care delivery and enhance workflow using informatics tools, with a focus on transitions of care, population health, and quality. He is leading the development of EHR-based clinical decision support and workflows to facilitate billing of Transitional Care Management codes to improve post-discharge quality of care, reduce readmission, and increase revenue. He is also leading development of a pathway to enable post-discharge follow-up in the UCSF Screening and Acute Care Clinic for patients who do not have PCPs or cannot see their PCPs in a timely manner to improve safe and appropriate post-discharge follow-up. He is leading education and evaluation of LLM use cases in population health and is involved in evaluating the feasibility of multiple AI-based risk-prediction models. Additionally, he is co-leading the development of a Lab Stewardship Program at UCSF, which is supported by a UCSF Caring Wisely grant. He is Clarity certified with skills in SQL, R, and Tableau for data extraction, analytics, and visualization, and is the Cardiology lead in the Department of Medicine Data Core. He also educates and mentors residents and fellows as an Associate Director for the UCSF GME Clinical Informatics and Data Science pathway and as faculty for the UCSF Clinical Informatics Fellowship program.

Dr. Muniyappa received his bachelor’s degree in Public Health and a master’s degree in Health a Medical Science, focused on digital health solutions to improve quality of care in low-resource settings, from UC Berkeley. He received his medical degree from UCSF, and completed Internal Medicine Residency and Clinical Informatics Fellowship at UCSF.
