Research Profile
Dr. Datta’s research is motivated by the need to provide decision-makers with information regarding healthcare costs, cost-effectiveness analysis, and budgetary impact of healthcare interventions, programs, and policies that improve health outcomes and quality-of-life to facilitate evidence-based policy and clinical practice implementation decisions. His particular research focus is on intervention strategies that improve outcomes and access in an efficient, cost-effective manner by utilizing technology and alternative provider strategies than traditional clinical practice. He has conducted economic analyses and health services research for a wide range of interventions and health conditions including smoking cessation, lung cancer screening, telemedicine for dermatology referrals, diabetic retinopathy screening, genetic counseling; provider-guided, telephone-based care and/or group-visits for diabetes, blood pressure, and cholesterol control, obesity, osteoarthritis self-management; newer anticoagulants for the prevention of stroke among atrial fibrillation patients, and Lynch Syndrome screening.
