The day will focus on two themes: Global Surgery Research. A growing body of surgical research is being conducted in low and middle income
countries, including health services research and the epidemiology of surgical
conditions. This panel will cover recent developments in global surgical
research methods and issues unique to research in these settings. Our three
panelists will discuss the methodology of surgical needs assessment,
sustainability of surgical safety research, and the ethics of conducting
surgical research in low income countries. Health Information Technology: an opportunity for innovation and improvement in surgical care delivery. Health information
technology (health IT) is a broad concept that encompasses an array of
technologies to store, share, and analyze health information.
Increasingly, health care providers are using health IT to
improve patient care. The SOC is honored to have 3 national leaders in
Health IT Health Services Research share their academic journeys to funded research projects, and
visions to put information technology to work in
transforming health care. John Birkmeyer, MD, from Sound Physicians will give the John R. Clarke keynote address "Reflections on leadership Paths and Impact". Previous SOC Meeting Agendas:
