A recent study was published in The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Inc. that examined the factors that drive variation in cost of hip arthroscopy for labral pathological conditions. The procedures were analyzed with the help of Avant-garde Health's CareMeasurement software identifying procedure specific time stamps and supply costs. We invite you to read the article in full: https://lnkd.in/eEJ8yzEt and learn how time-driven activity-based costing was used for this report. We are proud of the work done by Michael Dean, Nathan Cherian, Ana Paula Beck da Silva Etges, Ph.D, Eng., Kieran Dowley, Zachary LaPorte, Kaveh Torabian, Christopher Eberlin, Matthew Best, MD, and Scott Martin. #TDABC #Research #HipArthoscopy

Please join us in congratulating Ronald Bleday, MD, the Research All-Star surgeon of the week. Dr. Bleday is the Vice Chair for Quality and Patient Safety in the Department of Surgery and Section Chief in the Division of Colorectal Surgery at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and in the Top 5% of surgeons conducting research in GI surgery. "One of our core missions in research at Mass General Brigham is to uncover operational methods that enhance patient care. For instance, our analysis of many surgical cases pinpointed key factors leading to post-surgical complications. The insights gained drove us to adopt ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) protocols. Consequently, through standardization and adherence by surgeons, we've seen an 83% decrease in surgical site infections. This initiative has also significantly lowered the incidence of embolisms and reduced prolonged use of narcotics post-surgery. These outcomes exemplify how dedicated research directly translates into tangible improvements in patient health and recovery."

Please join us in congratulating Timothy Henry, the Research All-Star surgeon of the week. Dr. Henry is the Lindner Family Distinguished Chair in Clinical Research and Medical Director of The Carl and Edyth Lindner Center for Research at The Christ Hospital Health Network, the former chief of cardiology at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, and in the Top 1% of surgeons conducting research in cardiothoracic surgery. "You can’t provide cutting-edge cardiology treatment without conducting cutting-edge cardiology research. It’s critical to do both. Not surprisingly, many of the top researchers in cardiology also have some of the busiest clinical practices. And through research, we are recognizing and in many cases for the first time, successfully treating patients with previously unmet needs.” View the full lists of Research All-Star surgeons and hospitals at https://lnkd.in/e4p_9vJj. #HealthcareResearchAllStars #Cardiology #Cardiothoracic #CardiacSurgery #Surgery
