About
Craig A. Pedersen is a leading authority in health-system pharmacy practice, with his research centered on medication dispensing, administration, and the integration of pharmacy informatics in U.S. hospitals. His most significant contributions come from a landmark series of ASHP national surveys, which he has conducted over multiple years to provide a comprehensive, longitudinal view of hospital pharmacy operations. These studies, including the highly cited 2005, 2008, and 2011 surveys on dispensing and administration (garnering over 500 citations collectively), have become essential benchmarks for the profession, documenting critical trends in automation, technology adoption, and safety practices. Pedersen also pioneered the assessment of pharmacy informatics, with his 2007 and 2013 surveys (totaling over 140 citations) tracking the evolution of electronic health records, computerized prescriber order entry, and clinical decision support. His work has directly shaped policy, informed best-practice guidelines, and provided the data foundation for strategic decision-making by hospital administrators and pharmacy leaders nationwide. Through these rigorous, large-scale investigations, Pedersen has established himself as a key chronicler of modern pharmacy practice.
