Andrew D. Auerbach
is Assistant Professor in Residence in the Department of Medicine at UCSF. He has expertise in database management, and multivariable methods and has published research using secondary data, as well as research involving surveys of physicians. His clinical responsibilities involve patient care on the general medical ward and medical consultation service. Dr. Auerbach’s research interests include outcomes and costs of care as they relate to organization of inpatient services, with special interest in the hospitalist model of care, outcomes research in perioperative medicine and medical consultation, and physician expertise, and comparisons of specialty and generalist care. Dr. Auerbach's major research achievements have been in the successful design and completion of studies involving complex statistical modeling techniques. As a fellow, Dr. Auerbach was responsible for creating and completing analyses using data from the SUPPORT study. These analyses included several different severity of illness measures (including the Acute Physiology Score, comorbidity indices, and patient preference data). Dr. Auerbach is also the UCSF PI for a multicenter study of hospitalist services that will be the largest to date to describe the hospitalist model. Dr. Auerbach was a key contributor to a recent AHRQ EPC report Making health care safer: a critical analysis of patient safety practices. As part of this report, Dr. Auerbach authored (or co-authored) 7 sections reviewing evidence for patient safety practices in perioperative medicine. Dr. Auerbach has successfully completed three physician surveys in which he was directly responsible for the design of the survey instrument, database management, analysis of results, and manuscript preparation. He has also completed a complex cost-effectiveness analysis using decision analytic and Markov modeling methods to determine optimal screening and treatment strategies for patients with deep venous thrombosis.
