About
Dr. I-Wen Pan is a health services researcher whose work focuses on the economic and operational dimensions of surgical care, particularly within bariatric and robotic surgery. Her most-cited study, "Cost drivers of gastric sleeve procedures performed using robotic platform" (2024, 5 citations), provides critical insights into the financial implications of adopting robotic technology for sleeve gastrectomy. By analyzing a U.S. hospital database, Dr. Pan identifies key factors that drive higher costs in robotic-assisted procedures, offering evidence to guide cost-containment strategies and improve surgical value. Her research bridges clinical practice and health economics, helping hospitals and policymakers make informed decisions about resource allocation in an era of rising robotic surgery adoption. Dr. Pan’s work is especially relevant for surgeons, administrators, and researchers interested in optimizing surgical outcomes while managing healthcare expenditures. Through her focused analysis, she contributes to a deeper understanding of how technological advancements can be integrated sustainably into modern surgical care.
