Research

Research Overview

Dr. Anthony is an Assistant Professor of Family Medicine and serves as the Assistant Director of Predoctoral Education. In addition to his teaching and clinical roles in the department, he is actively pursuing a career in clinical research. He has completed a National Research Service Award (NRSA) funded academic fellowship at Boston University and is developing his research home at Brown University. Dr. Anthony's research interests include patient safety, hospital discharge care, and statistical methods for primary care.

Research Statement

Dr. Anthony's research interests include health care quality, hospital discharge care and statistical methods for primary care. He has played a major role in obtaining funding from the Agency for Health Research and Quality (AHRQ) to study the effect of a novel method of discharging patients from the hospital on subsequent hospital utilization and adverse events at Boston Medical Center. Currently, his primary research interest is in how to apply statistical methods to direct patient care in the primary care setting. He is pursuing a research career that focuses on using population data to predict an individual patient's risk of developing diabetes and on how to effectively communicate that information to a patient in clinical practice. He is also co-investigator on an ethnographic study of the transition of a large family medicine teaching practice to the use of an electronic medical record.
