Ties has a background in health economics and management science. His work focuses on the organization and delivery of health and social care services, with a particular interest in organisational behaviour. Commonly combining quantitative and qualitative methods, Ties has done influential studies of the implementation and impact of new care approaches and guidance in everyday practice.
Through his research Ties has contributed to methodology for studying complex interventions, including implementation strategies. He is experienced in engaging stakeholders in research processes, and works closely with local governments, care providers and other organisations within the health and care system.
At the General Assembly, Ties will present the rationale for considering economics in implementation science and provide an introduction to economic evaluation in the field.
