Building on Gaskin’s “place, not race” insights: when patients share similar living conditions, disparities largely diminish.
In spine surgery, Area Deprivation Index reveals how access to resources drives patient-reported outcomes.
Better environments, better recovery.

Takeaways from the Innovation Session here in Denver:
• Innovation should focus on solving problems
• Validate and tighten quality control
• Remember biomechanical principles
• Preparation matters — always have a backup plan
• And … AI/ML isn’t coming. It’s already here

Very proud to have been part of building this international consensus on the content of rehabilitation for patients undergoing spine surgery. This is important work that we hope to continue with a multi center clinical trial #prehabilitation #spinesurgery

Hard to believe that it's been a bit over one year since stepping down from the #ISOQOL board of directors. Seeing this pop up in my web search reminded me how much we accomplished and how much I enjoyed getting to know everyone!
