Sujan Rijal
About
I am a PhD candidate at the Centre for Care Research East, Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Gjøvik. I am a health economist by training, with a special interest in economic evaluation and efficiency analysis of public health interventions and healthcare technologies. With a background in public health, I am also interested in effectiveness evaluation, particularly causal analysis, of public health interventions in low—and middle-income settings.
The research project I am involved in is “Variations in trajectories, utilisation and costs in Norwegian municipal in-patient acute care units” funded by the Research Council of Norway. I am interested in the efficiency and cost-effectiveness analysis of MIPACs in Norway. The three different research papers planned for my PhD are:
1. A realist review of inpatient admission avoidance intermediate care services: Evidence from Norwegian MIPACs
2. Cost and efficiency analysis of Norwegian MIPACs
3. Cost-effectiveness analysis of MIPACs compared to hospitals from a healthcare perspective.
Research interests:
Economic evaluation of health policies, public health interventions and healthcare technologies
Efficiency analysis of healthcare systems
Effectiveness evaluation in healthcare/public health
Survival analysis
