About
Daniel M. Moreira is a leading urologic oncologist and health services researcher whose work centers on optimizing surgical outcomes for prostate cancer, particularly through the lens of volume-outcome relationships and operative efficiency. His most influential study, “Redefining and Contextualizing the Hospital Volume-Outcome Relationship for Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy” (71 citations), critically examines how centralization of care impacts patient outcomes in the era of robotic surgery—a finding with direct implications for health policy and surgical referral patterns. Moreira also investigates predictors of operative time in radical prostatectomy (27 citations), using patient and surgical characteristics to improve scheduling efficiency and reduce costs within large healthcare systems like the Veterans Health Administration. His research bridges clinical urology and health systems science, providing actionable insights for surgeons, hospital administrators, and policymakers. With a growing citation impact, Moreira’s work is essential reading for those interested in the intersection of surgical innovation, quality improvement, and value-based care in oncology.
