About
Lindsey A. McAlarnen is a gynecologic oncologist whose research focuses on optimizing surgical care for patients with gynecologic malignancies, particularly through enhanced recovery pathways and resource utilization. Her major contributions center on demonstrating the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of same-day discharge after robotic hysterectomy for cancer patients—a practice traditionally requiring overnight hospitalization. In her 2022 study, she implemented a low-cost education initiative that successfully improved same-day discharge rates, showing how systematic quality improvement can reduce healthcare costs without compromising patient safety. Her 2021 work provided a detailed cost analysis, revealing significant resource savings associated with this approach. While her citation counts are currently modest (3 and 1 citations respectively), her research addresses a critical gap in value-based oncology care, offering practical, scalable solutions for busy surgical practices. Dr. McAlarnen’s work is particularly notable for its emphasis on implementation science—translating evidence into routine clinical workflows—making her a rising voice in the movement toward more efficient, patient-centered gynecologic cancer surgery.
