Dr. Anderson is a primary care physician and health services researcher at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School. His primary research interests are identifying strategies to improve the quality of care delivered to older adults with chronic conditions and to reduce the delivery of low-value prescribing and diagnostic testing. His research applies advanced observational research methods to clinical, administrative, and pharmacy data towards the goal of improving our understanding of the patterns and outcomes of healthcare delivery across real-world care settings.
