About
Molly M. Jeffery is a health services researcher whose work sits at the intersection of surgical outcomes, health policy, and data-driven decision-making. Her research focuses on understanding how hospital and surgeon volume affect patient outcomes, particularly in the context of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy—a procedure that has rapidly become the standard of care for prostate cancer. In her highly cited 2017 paper, Jeffery redefined the volume-outcome relationship for this surgery, demonstrating that the benefits of centralization must be carefully weighed against patient access and market-driven dissemination. This work has informed critical health policy discussions about where complex surgeries should be performed. With over 71 citations, her study remains a foundational reference for researchers and policymakers examining the trade-offs between specialization and accessibility. Jeffery’s contributions exemplify how rigorous analysis of real-world data can shape surgical practice and health system design, making her a key voice in the ongoing debate over how to optimize care for patients undergoing high-risk procedures.
