About
Julie Ratcliffe is a leading health economist whose research centers on the valuation of health and social care outcomes, particularly for older adults and individuals with chronic conditions. Her major contributions lie in advancing the use of preference-based measures—such as the ICECAP capability instruments—to capture wellbeing beyond traditional health metrics. Ratcliffe’s work has been instrumental in shaping how cost-effectiveness analyses incorporate broader quality-of-life dimensions, influencing policy and practice in aged care and dementia services. Her most cited paper, “Early rehabilitation management after stroke: What do stroke patients prefer?” (2011, 29 citations), exemplifies her commitment to patient-centered research, revealing stroke survivors’ preferences for rehabilitation intensity and technology use. This study has informed more tailored, acceptable therapy models. With a career spanning over two decades, Ratcliffe has published extensively in high-impact journals, earning recognition for her methodological innovations in capability-based economic evaluation. Her research continues to empower decision-makers to design services that align with what truly matters to patients, making her a pivotal figure in health economics and outcomes research.
