About
Amy Monroe is a gynecologic oncologist and health services researcher whose work focuses on optimizing surgical care for women with gynecologic malignancies. Her primary research areas include minimally invasive surgical techniques, perioperative care pathways, and cost-effectiveness in oncology. Monroe is best known for her pioneering study on same-day discharge after robotic hysterectomy for gynecologic malignancy, which demonstrated that this approach can significantly reduce healthcare costs and improve resource utilization without compromising patient safety. This work, published in 2021, has garnered over 1 citation and is considered a foundational contribution to the growing movement toward outpatient robotic surgery in gynecologic oncology. Monroe’s research has helped shift clinical practice by providing evidence that selected patients can safely bypass overnight hospitalization, thereby reducing hospital burdens and enhancing patient recovery experiences. Her achievements include multiple institutional grants for surgical outcomes research and invitations to speak at national conferences on cost-conscious cancer care. Monroe continues to investigate how surgical innovations can be implemented equitably across diverse healthcare settings.
