Dr. Dukhanin is an Assistant Scientist in the Department of Health Policy and Management of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health with more than 10 years of experience of research and consulting in over 25 academic, governmental, and corporate projects. Having a clinical background, Dr. Dukhanin has reformed to specialize in health services and health outcomes research working with patient reported, clinical, and population health data. A dozen of projects in his portfolio includes those aimed to enhance provider payment models (CMS CPC+) and to evaluate aspects of the Medicare Shared Savings ACOs program and the AHRQ Primary Care Medical Home model. His current project aims to evaluate implementation and efficiency of asymmetric performance-based adjustments in the CMS Primary Care First (PCF) model, with the focus on seriously ill patient populations.

Vadim's project portfolio demonstrates his extensive skills in complex data analysis, synthesis, and presentation. He has conducted over a dozen of systematic reviews and scoping literature reviews of studies with diverse subjects and design complexity. Vadim uses quantitative methods to analyze health economics models, cost-effectiveness and cost utility studies, and patient-reported outcomes primary and secondary data. His work equally employs qualitative methods to analyze surveys and focus group and individual expert interviews. Vadim synthesized findings in over a dozen of executive summaries, reports, and scholarly manuscripts and have presented them to various stakeholders.


Vadim has made significant contributions to the research and practice areas of: 1) patient, care partner, and public engagement; 2) patient safety; and 3) social justice considerations. Vadim's research interests include identifying optimal implementation and evaluation methods for translating desired priorities, for instance value-based care, into organizational and individuals’ performance and behaviors. Vadim's special interest in priority-setting relates to patient outcomes and experiences of care quality and safety, and the alignment of these priorities with general pubic perspectives using authentic patient and public engagement. In terms of healthcare practice improvement, Vadim has a passion for exploring the role of payment and performance systems and the use of human resource management policies and other organizational elements.
