About me
I am working as head of Stockholm Centre for Health Economics (StoCHE) at Region Stockholm and an adjunct Associate professor at LIME at KI.
I have previously worked as a health economist and coordinator for health economics at the Swedish Agency for Health Technology Assessment and Assessment of Social Services (SBU) and as a project manager for a research program focusing on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) at QRC Stockholm.
More information about StocHE is available at: https://www.chis.regionstockholm.se/StoCHE/
Research
My research focuses on health economic evaluations of health care interventions as well as the assessment and use of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) to measure and value health and health-related quality of life (HRQoL).
As part of my research at LIME, I am involved in projects related to the cost-effectiveness of screening for prostate and breast cancer and how interventions in person-centred and integrated care pathways influence resource use.
My research on PROMs have generated results regarding how PROMs are used within the Swedish national quality registries (NQRs), the validity of PROMs in different patient groups, and how PROMs from the NQRs can be used to inform decision-making. Currently, I am working on studies of the validity of the HRQoL measure EQ-5D in patient populations with rheumathic disease.
