Bojke specializes in advancing health technology assessment through econometric techniques for non-standard evaluations, particularly focusing on patient heterogeneity and observational data analysis using Hospital Episodes Statistics (HES). His research spans wound care economics, mental health staffing cost-effectiveness, maternity services optimization, and patient safety interventions, employing quasi-experimental methods like controlled interrupted time series for health policy decisions.
