About
Dr. Laila Al-Marayati is a leading voice in surgical health systems research, with a focus on optimizing surgical care delivery during public health crises. Her most cited work, "Prioritizing Surgical Services during On-Going Pandemic Response: Modification and Reliability of the Medically Necessary Time Sensitive Surgery (MeNTS) Scoring Tool" (2021, 8 citations), addresses the critical challenge of maintaining essential surgical services amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Al-Marayati’s major contribution lies in adapting and validating the MeNTS scoring tool to help hospitals prioritize time-sensitive surgeries when resources are strained, ensuring that patients with urgent needs receive timely care without overwhelming healthcare capacity. This work has provided a practical, evidence-based framework for surgical triage during pandemics, directly impacting hospital preparedness and patient outcomes. Her research bridges the gap between clinical surgery and public health policy, demonstrating how systematic scoring can guide resource allocation during crises. Dr. Al-Marayati’s scholarship is essential for surgeons, hospital administrators, and policymakers navigating the complex intersection of surgical demand and emergency response, making her a key contributor to resilient surgical systems.
