Case studies

Evidence that connects methods to practice.

Selected applied evidence from health policy, digital health interoperability, health equity, and quasi-experimental evaluation. Each example shows the analytical methods behind our consulting work.

Methodological range

The design the question earns — no heavier than necessary.

Not every question needs a causal design, and not every causal question can be answered with a before-and-after chart. We tell you which one you're in before the budget is set.

Difference-in-differences Staggered adoption designs Interrupted time series Policy and equity analysis Scoping and systematic review Meta-analysis Supply–demand simulation Mixed-methods integration Administrative data analysis Process and outcome evaluation Propensity score methods Geospatial access analysis

Peer-reviewed

Selected publications.

Three strands run through the work: health information interoperability, health policy and equity, and health systems capacity. Each links to the published paper.
