About

Marianne Kelly is a thoracic surgeon and researcher dedicated to improving surgical efficiency and patient outcomes. Her work focuses on optimizing perioperative workflows, particularly in thoracic surgical operations, where she has identified and addressed systemic delays that contribute to wasted time and increased healthcare costs. In her most-cited study, "Reducing Wasted Time Prior To Starting Thoracic Surgical Operations" (2021), Kelly and her team analyzed preoperative processes and implemented targeted interventions to streamline operating room turnover, resulting in measurable reductions in non-operative time. This research, cited four times, underscores her commitment to evidence-based quality improvement in surgical settings. Beyond this work, Kelly’s contributions extend to advancing best practices in thoracic surgery, with an emphasis on minimizing patient wait times and enhancing resource utilization. Her findings are particularly valuable for clinicians and hospital administrators seeking to balance efficiency with high standards of care. Through her focused investigations, Marianne Kelly is helping to shape a more effective, patient-centered approach to surgical scheduling and preparation.
