About
Ying Hong is a health economist and health technology assessment researcher whose work focuses on the economic evaluation of surgical innovations, particularly robotic-assisted surgery. Her most-cited paper, a 2025 systematic review and meta-analysis on the costs and cost-effectiveness of robotic-assisted surgery in South Korea, has already garnered 6 citations, reflecting the timeliness and policy relevance of her research. Hong’s major contribution lies in rigorously analyzing the economic implications of emerging surgical technologies—an area where clinical efficacy often outpaces cost evidence. By synthesizing data on reimbursement, procedural costs, and patient outcomes, she provides critical insights for healthcare decision-makers balancing innovation with budget constraints. Her work is especially notable for its focus on South Korea’s national health insurance context, offering a model for other countries grappling with RAS adoption. Hong’s research bridges the gap between clinical advancement and economic sustainability, making her a key voice in evidence-based health policy. For students and researchers, her studies exemplify how health economics can inform real-world resource allocation in rapidly evolving surgical fields.
