Patient-Centered Research
Patient-centered research is central to SHORE's approach, with a focus on improving patient experiences and outcomes. Our research includes the implementation and utilization of patient-reported outcomes to assess care quality, cost, and value. We also explore patient engagement technologies to enhance communication and support between patients and healthcare providers. These initiatives are designed to ensure that patient perspectives and needs are at the forefront of surgical care and research.
