Thrilled to see the results of our multiyear project on IAMs in print! Grateful to @F_ThurstonDrake @Tfeend and the rest of the @BMCSurgery crew for their mentorship on this project, and very excited that we were able to increase approp workup after IAM detection for patients!

[Journal of the American College of Surgeons (JACS) @acsJACS]

Many patients do not receive appropriate follow-up after detection of incidental adrenal mass.

Quality improvement intervention is associated with increased primary care provider-initiated evaluation.

[F. Thurston Drake @F_ThurstonDrake]

How to take care of patients with indeterminate adrenal masses — an endlessly fascinating topic.

In this issue of @WorldJSurg , our team identifies racial & socioeconomic disparities in the decision to undergo curative treatment in early-stage HCC. Check out the following link: https://t.co/ZPcCGGQM5i @BMCSurgery @The_BMC @TsengJennifer @AlisonMPease21 @MPapageorge_MD

[Alison Woods @AlisonPWoods]

@Tfeend @GusGodley @F_ThurstonDrake I’ll vouch for it!

[Gus Godley MD/MBA @GusGodley]

This was a thrilling project to work on with @AlisonMPease21 @Tfeend @F_ThurstonDrake and many others.

⭐️Simple interventions, when implemented effectively, make a big difference.

📈Making interdisciplinary communication easier increases follow up, and connection to treatment.

📄 In Press @JACRJournal

“Despite suboptimal adoption, use of our concise, standardized template within the “Impression” section of the radiology report was associated with a nearly 50% increase in PCP follow-up after incidental adrenal mass detection.”

@SallamAminah @NCSP_UCLA @JoChikweMD @CedarsSinai @BIDMCSurgery Congrats!!

I’m of the opinion that every American 18-20 y/old should participate in the civic life of this country—military; PeaceCorps; AmeriCorps; etc—similar to Israeli model. If we all have to contribute, we’ll all have more of a stake in making this country work better for everyone.

[F. Thurston Drake @F_ThurstonDrake]

Proud of my colleague Dr. @AlisonMPease21; rather than measure traditional outcomes (eg, LOS or complications, which haven't shown much variation among pts with non-English primary language), Alison wisely looked @ the "other end" of the surgical journey: pre-op decision-making.

[Alison Woods @AlisonPWoods]

Lots more to be done in this impt area as we outline here in @AnnSurgOncol reflections: https://t.co/iv7hstHawF. Need std definitions, inclusion of language info in databases, & to expand on findings using qualitative techniques.

[Alison Woods @AlisonPWoods]

Thrilled to share our work on the association between patient primary language and post-mastectomy immediate breast reconstruction. https://t.co/wbfwn7EEvs

[Alison Woods @AlisonPWoods]

Pts who spoke a primary language other than English less likely to undergo autologous IBR - even after accounting for pt and hospital factors. As always, learned much from @F_ThurstonDrake & coauths @MPapageorge_MD @Dre_Alonso91 @AndreaLMerrill @mcassidymd @TeviahSachs & more
