About
Dr. Elisa Foresi is a leading health services researcher whose work illuminates the drivers of unwarranted clinical variation and the real-world impact of surgical innovation. Her primary research areas include health policy, healthcare geography, and the evaluation of elective surgical practices. Dr. Foresi’s most cited work, “The Impact of New Surgical Techniques on Geographical Unwarranted Variation: The Case of Benign Hysterectomy” (2021, 9 citations), provides a critical analysis of how the diffusion of minimally invasive techniques has influenced regional disparities in care. By focusing on benign hysterectomy—one of the most common elective procedures—she demonstrates that while new technologies can improve outcomes, they may also exacerbate unwarranted variation when adopted unevenly across regions. Her research offers actionable insights for policymakers aiming to reduce avoidable differences in surgical rates. Dr. Foresi’s contributions are particularly valuable for students and researchers interested in the intersection of surgical practice, health equity, and evidence-based policy. Her work underscores the importance of monitoring geographic patterns to ensure that innovation benefits all populations equitably.
