Overview

He combines his knowledge of economic analysis with clinical and epidemiological insights from his colleagues to produce cost-effectiveness analyses that bring the tools of economic decision making to policy-makers. He has focused on community-based interventions as well as clinical care.  


At present, his main focus is cost-effectiveness studies dealing with eye care and nursing.  He has also worked in areas including obesity and oncology. His work has been a combination of efforts local in Baltimore, throughout the United States, and at the global level.


Moving ahead, his interest has begun to focus on how to make the findings relevant to real world decision makers.
