About
Stephen Morris is a leading health economist whose research focuses on the economic evaluation of major system change (MSC) in healthcare, with particular expertise in costing the implementation of large-scale service reconfigurations. His most cited work, "How to Cost the Implementation of Major System Change for Economic Evaluations: Case Study Using Reconfigurations of Specialist Cancer Surgery in Part of London, England" (2021, 13 citations), addresses a critical gap in health economics by developing a rigorous methodology for capturing the substantial—yet often overlooked—costs of planning, purchasing, and repurposing resources during healthcare reorganizations. This contribution is vital for ensuring that cost-effectiveness analyses accurately reflect the true resource implications of system-level interventions. Morris’s work has significant policy relevance, particularly in the context of cancer care centralization, where his case study of London’s specialist surgery reconfigurations provides a practical framework for decision-makers. By advancing methods for economic evaluation of complex health system changes, he has helped bridge the gap between implementation science and health economics, enabling more informed resource allocation. His research is essential reading for health economists, policymakers, and researchers interested in the economic dimensions of healthcare transformation.
