This one stirs inner warm fuzzies. Excited to share work capping off 🦠that highlights the power of @YaleMed collab and what we can provide through veteran-led research (and likely ⬇️ surgery delays). Thankful @YaleSurgery @AnnalsofSurgery for the opp!

Psychosocial frailty is as important as comorbidities and physical frailty in affecting post-operative outcomes. We need to identify and optimize pre-operative Psychosocial frailty! @IraLeeds_MD @BerianJulia @ASCRS_1 @3isac @amysuwanabol @yoishwolf @SWexner #ASCRS23

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

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 @uretericbud @dytcmd @WalterStadler5

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 https://t.co/m8MTMbRIC3 @Swexner @me4_so @ACPGBI @drtracyhull @ASCRS_1

Hats off to the SSAT for putting together a power-suite of speakers discussing the trials and tribulations of ...trials.... Really enjoyed getting into the details of "trial reality." For those who missed it, a record will be posted on the website - absolutely worth a view.
