About
Roberto Grilli is a leading figure in health technology assessment (HTA) and health services research, with a career dedicated to bridging the gap between innovation and evidence-based policy. His seminal work, "A method for addressing research gaps in HTA, developed whilst evaluating robotic-assisted surgery: a proposal" (2010, 10 citations), provides a foundational framework for evaluating emerging technologies when robust clinical evidence is scarce. This methodology, born from a regional policy initiative in Emilia Romagna, Italy, links the governance of health innovations directly to the development of clinical research, offering a pragmatic solution for decision-makers. Grilli’s recent work continues this theme, as seen in his 2024 prospective cohort study (6 citations) assessing robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty through patient-reported outcome measures. By focusing on quality of care from the patient’s perspective, he demonstrates a commitment to real-world impact. His contributions are critical for students and researchers navigating the complexities of HTA, showing how rigorous evaluation can guide the adoption of costly, high-stakes technologies while ensuring patient-centered outcomes.
