About
Dr. Terry Mackie is a leading health services researcher whose work centers on the evaluation of surgical innovation, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted surgery, health technology assessment, and patient-reported outcomes. Her most significant contribution is the development of the RoboCOS (Robotic-Assisted Surgery Core Outcome Set) study, a landmark international initiative that established the first standardized framework for evaluating the comprehensive impacts of robotic surgery. This work addresses a critical gap in surgical research by moving beyond traditional clinical metrics to include patient, surgeon, organizational, and population-level outcomes. The RoboCOS study, published in 2023 with 6 citations, provides a rigorous methodology for assessing whether the substantial costs and system-wide transformations required for robotic surgery are justified by measurable benefits. Dr. Mackie's research is notable for its emphasis on stakeholder engagement and real-world implementation, ensuring that outcome measures reflect what matters most to patients and healthcare systems. Her work is essential reading for researchers and clinicians seeking to navigate the complex landscape of surgical technology adoption and value-based healthcare.
