Professional Interests
Dr. Anna Tosteson is a decision scientist and health services researcher who studies how the diffusion of innovations in health care are changing health, costs and quality of care. Through study of diverse data sources including registries, electronic health record data, clinical and epidemiological studies, and administrative claims data, she seeks insights into the long-term clinical and economic effects of alternative approaches to health care delivery with a focus on cancer screening, musculoskeletal disease, and women’s health.
