Bio
Dr. Nguyen’s foundational research skills can be applied to many areas and her research spans a variety of topics. She focuses on optimizing health services and the delivery of care (e.g., she is currently conducting systematic reviews on population health management and care coordination). She is also interested in diabetes and cardiovascular disease prevention and treatment.
Dr. Nguyen’s long-term goal is to promote optimal health care delivery in patients with diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, especially those living in rural, underserved areas. She is working towards this goal through research and collaboration with patients, providers, payers, and other stakeholders. Recognizing the important roles that pharmacists play on the health care team and as a pharmacist herself, she is particularly interested in pharmacy-related health services research. She has published on topics such as the value of online medication therapy management (MTM) resources, the impact of non-medical switching, and the impact of appointment-based medication synchronization.
She has presented at local, national, and international conferences and has been published in JAMA, PloS One, Annals of Pharmacotherapy, International Journal of Cardiology, Current Medical Research and Opinion, Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, and other peer-reviewed journals.
