Healthcare Analytics, Management, and Policy
FY 2024-25
Summary
Dr. Cipriano¿s research will use operations research, economics, statistics, and decision science tools to address challenging health care policy decision problems about who gets access to new drugs, devices, programs, and surgeries. This work applies data-driven and evidence-based approaches to allocate resources efficiently and equitably in Canadian health care. Dr. Cipriano will develop new dynamic decision-making frameworks addressing: 1) resource allocation and patient
prioritization; 2) technology adoption incorporating the expectation of technological change; 3) value-of-information analysis to simultaneously inform repeated information gathering and adoption decisions; and 4) multiple-decision-maker optimization to understand barriers to technology adoption in fragmented decision systems.
