My research interests are primarily focused on enhancing healthcare outcomes and optimizing the utilization of healthcare resources. Specific areas of interest include:
Pharmacoeconomics: Understanding the economic impact of drugs and pharmaceutical services, specifically evaluating the cost-effectiveness and value of drugs, technologies, and services provided by clinical pharmacists.
Drug-Drug Interaction: Investigating the nature and outcomes of drug-drug interactions, and disseminating this evidence to healthcare providers and the public to improve medication safety.
Health Technology Assessment: Evaluating the effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, and broader impact of health technologies and services.
Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses: Conducting comprehensive reviews and meta-analyses of existing literature to synthesize evidence on drug efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness, as well as the impact of clinical pharmacy services.
