About

Sabina Nuti is a leading health economist and policy scholar whose research centers on unwarranted variation in healthcare, performance measurement, and the evaluation of surgical practices. Her work critically examines how new medical technologies and procedures can either reduce or exacerbate geographic disparities in care. In her highly cited 2021 study on benign hysterectomy, Nuti demonstrated that the introduction of new surgical techniques did not uniformly decrease unwarranted variation, revealing persistent, avoidable differences in treatment patterns across regions. This contribution is vital for policymakers and clinicians seeking to improve equity and efficiency in healthcare delivery. With over 9 citations for this paper alone, her research has shaped international discourse on value-based healthcare and regional health system governance. Nuti is also recognized for developing innovative performance evaluation systems for regional health authorities, bridging the gap between data analysis and actionable policy. Her work continues to influence how unwarranted variation is measured and addressed, making her a key figure in the movement toward more equitable, evidence-based surgical care.
