About
Dr. Greta Bernier is a colorectal surgeon and health services researcher whose work focuses on the regional adoption and outcomes of minimally invasive and robotic colorectal surgery. Her major contributions center on evaluating real-world surgical practice patterns through large-scale collaborative data, particularly with the Surgical Care Outcomes Assessment Program (SCOAP). Her most-cited paper (2020, 29 citations) examines the regional uptake of minimally invasive colorectal surgery, providing critical insights into how new techniques diffuse across diverse healthcare settings. This work, alongside her study on robotic colorectal surgery adoption (2019), has helped identify barriers to and facilitators of advanced surgical technology implementation. Dr. Bernier’s research is notable for its emphasis on population-level data and collaborative quality improvement, offering surgeons and policymakers evidence to guide surgical innovation and patient access. Her findings underscore the importance of regional variation in surgical care and the need for systematic evaluation of new technologies. Through her SCOAP-based investigations, Dr. Bernier has established herself as a key voice in understanding how surgical advancements translate from academic centers to community practice, directly impacting quality improvement initiatives in colorectal surgery.
