About
Dr. Claire Levermore is a health services researcher whose work focuses on the economic evaluation of major system change (MSC) in healthcare, particularly within the context of cancer service reconfigurations. Her key contributions lie in developing methodologies to cost the implementation of large-scale health system transformations, an area often overlooked in traditional cost-effectiveness analyses. Her most cited paper, "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), provides a practical framework for capturing the often-substantial costs of planning, purchasing, and repurposing resources during system redesign. By using the reconfiguration of specialist cancer surgery in London as a case study, Levermore demonstrates how ignoring implementation costs can lead to incomplete economic evaluations, potentially misinforming policy decisions. Her work is notable for bridging a critical gap between health economics and health service delivery, offering tools that enable more accurate assessments of value for money in complex healthcare changes. This research is particularly relevant for policymakers and researchers involved in service redesign, ensuring that the true resource implications of major system changes are transparently accounted for.
