Faculty Profile
Micah Aaron, PhD, MPH
- Assistant Professor, Health Management and Policy
Professor Aaron is a health services researcher whose work represents the culmination of a robust training in statistics and study design and
a formative professional experience at a large health system provider. She studies the impact of (1) delivery system actions on health care spending and
quality indicators, (2) provider consolidation on clinical care integration and (3)
health care policy on delivery system actions.
Her most recent and ongoing work measures the extent of variation in quality performance across delivery systems and identifies organizational characteristics and processes that are predictive of better or worse care quality. Her multi-disciplinary research has been funded by grants from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and the National Cancer Institute, and published in health services research journals, including Health Services Research and JAMA.
