About

Jessica J. Jalbert is a leading health services researcher whose work sits at the intersection of surgical innovation and real-world evidence. Her primary research areas include comparative effectiveness research, pharmacoepidemiology, and the evaluation of advanced surgical technologies, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted procedures. Dr. Jalbert’s major contributions lie in rigorously assessing the clinical and economic outcomes of robotic surgery versus traditional minimally invasive techniques. Her landmark 2014 study, "Comparative Effectiveness of Robotic-Assisted vs Thoracoscopic Lobectomy," which has garnered 128 citations, provided critical insights into the benefits and trade-offs of robotic approaches in thoracic surgery. She further advanced this field with her 2015 population-based analysis of robotic-assisted mitral valve repair, cited 55 times, demonstrating her ability to leverage large-scale data to inform surgical decision-making. By generating robust evidence on the real-world performance of these technologies, Dr. Jalbert has helped shape clinical guidelines and hospital adoption strategies. Her work is essential reading for anyone interested in how data-driven research can optimize surgical care and patient outcomes.
