upcoming feasibility studies

Feasibility studies are preliminary investigations conducted to assess the viability of a proposed project or system. In healthcare, these studies are often used to determine whether a new intervention, treatment, or program is practical and likely to succeed before larger scale studies or implementations are undertaken.

qualitative research

Qualitative research in healthcare involves collecting and analyzing non-numerical data to understand concepts, opinions, or experiences. This type of research is essential for gaining insights into patient perspectives, healthcare provider experiences, and social dynamics within healthcare settings.

clinical/cost-effectiveness studies

Clinical and cost-effectiveness studies evaluate the benefits and costs of medical interventions to determine their value. These studies are critical for informing healthcare policy, clinical guidelines, and reimbursement decisions.

Research from Existing Papers

Surgeons are constantly refining techniques to improve outcomes, such as minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and robotic-assisted surgery. Research focuses on comparing these techniques with traditional methods to assess benefits like reduced recovery time and fewer complications.

51%

decrease in post-operative complications - Abdominal Surgery
(Barberan-Carcia et al., 2018)

2 day

reduction in length of stay - colorectal surgery (Gillis et al., 2018)

23.2%

less opiates and 4.1x faster reduction in pain post-surgery - knee replacement (Pronk et al., 2020)

Improved

satisfaction and reduced complications - hip and knee replacement (Gwam et al., 2019)

Future Studies and Data

Technological Advancements: Keep an eye on developments in robotic surgery, AI-assisted diagnostics, and telemedicine, as these fields are rapidly evolving and transforming healthcare delivery.

Precision Medicine: Research into personalized treatments based on genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors is expanding. Understanding how these developments impact surgical practices will be crucial.

Data Analytics and Health Informatics: Big data and analytics are increasingly used to improve patient outcomes, optimize hospital operations, and enhance decision-making in surgery.

Global Health Trends: Stay informed about global health challenges and trends, such as aging populations, infectious diseases, and healthcare disparities, which influence surgical practices worldwide.
