His interdisciplinary research integrates health economics, policy evaluation, and decision modeling to advance value-based healthcare decisions. Dr. Kim has made significant contributions in three core research areas: (1) evaluating long-term health outcomes, economic impacts, and equity implications of health interventions to guide evidence-informed policy; (2) developing rigorous methodological approaches in economic evaluation and research prioritization to optimize healthcare resource allocation; (3) identifying geographic and racial disparities in the use of low-value healthcare services to inform targeted policy interventions and resource reallocation strategies. Dr. Kim’s extensive publication record includes over 60 peer-reviewed articles in prominent journals such as JAMA, Annals of Internal Medicine, Health Affairs, and Medical Decision Making. He has developed innovative analytical tools and disease simulation models, notably the Criteria for Health Economic Quality Evaluation (CHEQUE) tool and the Diabetes, Obesity, Cardiovascular Disease Microsimulation (DOC-M) model. His research frequently informs broader public discourse, having been featured in leading media outlets including The New York Times and The Washington Post. Dr. Kim provides strategic guidance to prominent national and international advisory groups, including the World Health Organization’s Guidelines Development Group, the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER), and currently serves as a Methods Consultant for the Annals of Internal Medicine.
