Research: Pharmacy Administration

As a pharmacy practitioner, I realized that there were many problems unrelated to the medication product that affected patient outcomes. This appreciation led me to begin focusing my attention on investigating aspects of health delivery that dealt with the social, economic and functional aspects of pharmacy. In my academic career, my research focus has been in the areas of patient communication, health disparities, disease state management, pharmacoeconomics and outcomes, and health education.

My interest in disease state management research is focused on asthma, diabetes and osteoporosis and relates to physician and patient behavior in terms of compliance with treatment regimens. The research has focused on patients who are poorly controlled and has also investigated the efforts of physicians who serve these patients.

Another area of research has been in health communications with patients in underserved area. This falls into the area of outcomes research since the principle purpose of the research is to recommend strategies that would improve these outcomes. This research is an extension of my dissertation which looked specifically at pharmacists' intentions to provide medication counseling.
