About
Dr. Jo Carol Hiatt is a leading authority in the evaluation of robotic-assisted surgery (RAS), with her work fundamentally shaping how health technology assessments (HTAs) are conducted for these complex systems. Her primary research focuses on establishing rigorous, standardized methodologies to accurately appraise the clinical and economic value of robotic surgical platforms. Dr. Hiatt’s most influential contribution is her landmark 2023 study, "Best practice considerations on the assessment of robotic assisted surgical systems," which synthesizes findings from an international consensus expert panel. This work directly addresses the critical challenge of inconsistent HTA conclusions by proposing a harmonized framework for evaluating RAS, thereby providing a crucial roadmap for policymakers, surgeons, and hospital administrators. Garnering 11 citations in its first year, the paper is already recognized as a foundational reference in the field. Through this consensus-building effort, Dr. Hiatt is not only advancing the science of surgical technology assessment but also ensuring that future investments in robotic systems are guided by robust, evidence-based standards.
