About
Daniel Lewis is a health services researcher whose work illuminates how patient choice and hospital competition shape cancer care delivery. His research focuses on the intersection of health policy, surgical oncology, and patient behavior, particularly examining how publicly reported quality measures influence where patients seek treatment. In his landmark 2017 study, "Effect of patient choice and hospital competition on service configuration and technology adoption within cancer surgery," Lewis demonstrated how market forces drive hospitals to adopt advanced surgical technologies and reconfigure services—a paper that has garnered over 100 citations for its policy implications. His subsequent work on patient mobility for prostate and colorectal cancer surgery, with studies cited 43 and 15 times respectively, reveals that patients with cancer do respond to quality indicators when choosing hospitals, challenging assumptions about healthcare consumerism in oncology. Lewis’s research provides critical evidence for policymakers designing transparency initiatives and competition-based reforms in national health systems, establishing him as a leading voice on how market mechanisms can be leveraged to improve surgical cancer outcomes.
