About
Amanda Swanton is a health services researcher whose work focuses on the evolving dynamics of surgical care delivery, particularly within urology. Her research critically examines the shifting roles of healthcare professionals in the operating room, highlighting the increasing integration of advanced practice providers (APPs) such as nurse practitioners and physician assistants. Swanton’s most-cited paper, “Trends in Operating Room Assistance for Major Urologic Surgical Procedures: An Increasing Role for Advanced Practice Providers” (2017, 11 citations), provides a seminal analysis of how workforce models are adapting to meet the demands of complex surgical procedures. This work underscores her broader contributions to understanding team-based care, surgical efficiency, and the implications for patient outcomes and healthcare policy. By quantifying the growing reliance on APPs, Swanton’s research offers critical insights for hospital administrators, surgeons, and educators navigating the future of surgical staffing. Her scholarship serves as a foundational reference for studies on healthcare workforce transformation, making her a key voice in discussions about optimizing surgical teams in an era of increasing procedural volume and provider shortages.
