Fun work, admirably led by our fearless value transparency leader Dr. Pantel. Hospitals still have work to do on revealing prices...then again, arbitrary price setting compared to quality makes it a poor signal for value
Does higher quality surgical care cost more? Can you shop for an operation like you can a car? Thank you @Boviethat @MarceloCerullo @CoppersmithMD @IraLeeds_MD @akmongiu Do You Get What You Pay For? The Relationship of Price and Quality in ...

No need to be a Urologist to appreciate these pearls for us new to being the staff surgeon. Appreciate the read!
Sage advice from Dan Geynisman at Fox Chase (UofC Grad), worth a read. Previous essay on email addiction also good: https://t.co/Jdbo32D8GV End of the Beginning—Lessons From the First 10 Years as an Oncologist https://t.co/WFeqMBIAmL

Where do folks stand on optimizing or even “prehab”? The data seems to getting increasingly noisy with many of the physical therapy-oriented interventions showing no benefit but under-investigation of focused comorbidity targeted interventions.
Can optimization of a patient's co-morbidities prior to colon cancer surgery be cost-effective? Find out from this #DCRJournal article by @IraLeeds_MD @FabianJohnson @hopkinssurgery #ColorectalResearch
