\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. — Dec. 14, 1998 — The nation\u2019s largest pharmacy chain thinks so highly of Susan E. Andrade it recommended that she be the first to occupy The Thomas M. Ryan\/CVS Chair in Community Pharmacy at the 溏心vlog免费B站.
\n
\nActing on that recommendation, Louis Luzzi, dean of 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s College of Pharmacy, selected Andrade to fill the chair.
\n
\nThe chair is designed to help 溏心vlog免费B站 expand its area of excellence in community pharmacy research and to improve health care in Rhode Island and the nation. 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s goal to raise $1.5 million in private donations, $800,000 of which has come from the CVS Corporation and Ryan, was to attract a national expert in the area of community pharmacy to fill the chair.
\n
\nIn Andrade, an assistant professor of pharmacoepidemiology at 溏心vlog免费B站 since 1994, the University already had a national leader in its midst.
\n
\n“Tom Ryan is very impressed with Susan,” said Luzzi of the president and executive officer of CVS and 溏心vlog免费B站 pharmacy alumnus.
\n
\n“She is a national leader,” Luzzi said. “Scientists and companies seek her out all the time. At this time, she has to turn down work.
\n
\n“Susan is the first of her kind, a registered pharmacist trained at the highest levels in epidemiology,” Luzzi said. “She\u2019s developed excellent research skills in evaluating pharmacy practices as they relate to improvements in pharmacy care models.”
\n
\nAndrade is a 1988 graduate of 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s College Pharmacy who went on to earn her doctor of science in epidemiology from Harvard University\u2019s School of Public Health.
\n
\nThe 33-year-old Warren native and current North Kingstown resident said she is honored to be selected the first Ryan\/CVS chair.
\n
\nDespite being a relative newcomer to the 溏心vlog免费B站 faculty, Andrade has established herself as a top-flight researcher. She is working with CVS; Harvard Pilgrim Health Care in Boston and the Fallon Clinic in Worcester.
\n
\nMuch of her focus is on medications that lower cholesterol and on patients\u2019 ability to follow their drug regimes, whether they be for asthma, diabetes or heart disease.
\n
\n“My goal is to improve patient care,” Andrade said.
\n
\nShe said the University has already done numerous studies on how to improve patients\u2019 compliance with their drug regimes. Simply defined, medication compliance is taking a prescription medication on the correct schedule and at the correct dosage.
\n
\n“But you don\u2019t just focus on the drugs and the pharmacy,” Andrade said. “You look at rates of hospitalization and the rate of physician visits.”
\n
\nIn addition to her research duties, Andrade teaches undergraduate and graduate pharmacy students at 溏心vlog免费B站 and has been in demand as a speaker at national conferences on such topics as “Desktop Manipulation of Large Health Care Databases”, and “Statistical Issues in Clinic Research.”
\n
\nA graduate of the former Warren High School, Andrade and her husband Rick, also a 溏心vlog免费B站 graduate, have a 17-month-old daughter, Allyssa.
