About
Dr. Mariya Melnychuk is a health services researcher whose work focuses on the economic evaluation of major system change (MSC) in healthcare, with a particular emphasis on the implementation costs of reconfiguring specialist services. Her research addresses a critical gap in health economics: while many studies assess the impact of system change on quality and outcomes, few rigorously account for the substantial costs of planning and executing such transformations. In her landmark 2021 case study on the reconfiguration of specialist cancer surgery in London, Dr. Melnychuk developed a novel methodology for costing MSC implementation, demonstrating how these expenses can be integrated into cost-effectiveness analyses to inform policy decisions. This work, which has garnered 13 citations, provides a practical framework for decision-makers to evaluate the true economic burden of healthcare reorganization. By highlighting the often-overlooked costs of change planning and infrastructure repurposing, Dr. Melnychuk’s contributions are essential for ensuring that economic evaluations reflect the full resource implications of transforming care delivery, making her a key voice in health systems research and implementation science.
