About

Jamie Erskine’s research lies at the critical intersection of health technology assessment, hospital procurement, and surgical innovation. They are best known for their systematic review on purchasing high-cost medical devices and equipment in hospitals, which synthesized evidence from high-income countries to illuminate the processes, procedures, and methods guiding these complex, high-stakes decisions—a work that has garnered 62 citations and become a foundational reference in the field. Building on this, Erskine led an international consensus expert panel to establish best-practice considerations for assessing robotic-assisted surgical systems, addressing the methodological challenges that have led to conflicting health technology assessments. Their work directly informs how hospitals evaluate and adopt expensive, life-saving technologies, balancing clinical benefit with financial sustainability. With a growing citation record and contributions that bridge academic rigor and real-world policy, Erskine is shaping how healthcare systems make evidence-based procurement decisions in an era of rapid technological advancement.
