About
Paula D. Strassle is a health services researcher whose work centers on surgical outcomes, perioperative care, and the real-world effectiveness of clinical pathways. Her research is distinguished by its focus on identifying patient and system-level factors that influence hospital admission and recovery after surgery. In a highly cited 2018 study (65 citations), she investigated predictors of admission following the implementation of an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathway for minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, providing critical insights for optimizing patient selection and resource allocation. Strassle has also contributed to thoracic oncology, examining trends and outcomes in minimally invasive surgery for locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer with N2 disease (19 citations). Her work bridges the gap between clinical protocols and practical outcomes, helping to refine surgical decision-making and improve patient care. By leveraging large datasets and rigorous methodology, Strassle’s research offers actionable evidence for surgeons and hospital systems aiming to reduce unnecessary admissions while maintaining quality of care. Her contributions are particularly valuable for trainees and clinicians interested in the intersection of surgical innovation, perioperative management, and health services research.
