About
Janet Bouttell is a leading health economist and health services researcher whose work focuses on the evaluation of surgical technologies, particularly robotic-assisted surgery. Her major contributions lie in synthesizing evidence on the clinical and economic value of robotic surgery compared to laparoscopic and open approaches. In her highly cited 2024 overview of systematic reviews (30 citations), she mapped clinical outcomes across multiple intracavity procedures, providing crucial evidence for policymakers and hospital decision-makers on optimal resource allocation. Her complementary work on economic evaluations (22 citations) critically examines the methods, challenges, and opportunities in assessing the cost-effectiveness of robotic platforms, highlighting the need for robust frameworks to guide adoption. With a combined impact of over 50 citations from these two landmark papers alone, Bouttell’s research is essential for anyone navigating the complex trade-offs between surgical innovation and healthcare budgets. Her clear, evidence-based analyses make her a key voice in shaping how new surgical technologies are implemented in clinical practice.
