Andrew Dick is a senior economist at the RAND Corporation. He studies the development of methods and empirical applications of risk-adjustment models for quality assessment, comparative effectiveness research, and cost estimation, all with a focus on applied econometric methods for drawing causal inference. He has led or been involved in many studies about access to, quality of, and costs of care using large secondary data sources, such as Medicaid claims and encounter data (MAX and TAF), Medicare administrative data (MDS, OASIS, MedPAR, MBSF, and Part-D), hospital administrative data, and private insurance claims data. His current work includes research on infection prevention and control (IPC) policies in nursing home and home health care settings, and the extent to which IPC policies mitigated the consequences of COVID-19. He has also been funded to investigate the role of IPC policies on infections and cognitive decline in nursing home and home health settings. He is currently funded to determine how state policies affect the quality of opioid prescribing and the quality of treatment for opioid use disorder. He was director and principal investigator of the Pre- and Post-Doctoral NRSA Training Grant at the University of Rochester and the codirector of the RAND University of Pittsburgh NRSA Post-Doctoral Training Grant. He holds adjunct faculty positions at the University of Rochester, Department of Community and Preventive Medicine, and at the Columbia University School of Nursing. He earned his Ph.D. in economics from Stanford University.
