Agnė Ulytė is a senior analyst at the RAND Corporation. Working primarily with RAND Europe, her focus is health services and health care policy research. Key areas of interest are health services provided in long-term care settings; innovative health care delivery modalities such as telemedicine; and measuring care quality within and between health care systems. Ulytė is experienced working with health care claims data, multilevel modelling, literature review, and survey methodologies. At RAND Europe, she is currently working on projects on remote monitoring for COPD patients, impact of drug treatment funding, and economic returns of health research. 

Prior to joining RAND, Ulytė was a postdoc at the Department of Health Care Policy, Harvard Medical School. Her research there focused on health care use and quality in skilled nursing facilities (nursing homes) in the U.S., particularly, specialty, post-acute care, and telemedicine. Before that, Ulytė worked in several coronavirus epidemiology studies at the University of Zurich and Fribourg University in Switzerland. Ulytė's Ph.D. at the Epidemiology, Biostatistics, and Prevention Institute of the University of Zurich focused on systematically assessing and comparing the geographic variation in use of recommended and discouraged health care services in Switzerland. She graduated medicine in Vilnius University.
