Research Synopsis
Dr. Aaron Brown’s research focuses on optimizing pharmacotherapy and care transitions
through pharmacist-led interventions, with an emphasis on anticoagulation, infectious
disease, and chronic disease management. His recent publications include a cost analysis
of single-dose intravenous antibiotics in the emergency department (Journal of the American Pharmacists Association, 2024) and commentary on pharmacist roles in care transitions (Journal of the American College of Clinical Pharmacy, 2023).
He has presented nationally and regionally on anticoagulation stewardship, periprocedural management of direct oral anticoagulants, and ambulatory care pharmacy’s role in care coordination. His current projects include a retrospective analysis of anticoagulation clinic recommendations for GI procedures, comparisons of pharmacist-led phone versus in-person diabetes visits, and the use of proactive “cold calls” to close patient care gaps. He also studies predictors of pharmacy school admissions through letters of recommendation analysis.
Collectively, Dr. Brown’s scholarship advances pharmacist-driven models of care that strengthen medication safety, reduce preventable complications, and improve chronic disease outcomes, particularly in Veterans Health systems.
