About
Dr. Ross Simon is a urologic surgeon and health services researcher whose work focuses on improving surgical efficiency and outcomes in prostate cancer care. His research centers on operative time prediction, surgical scheduling optimization, and cost reduction within large healthcare systems, particularly the Veterans Health Administration. Dr. Simon’s most cited study, “Predictors of operative time during radical retropubic prostatectomy and robot‐assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy” (2017, 27 citations), provides a data-driven framework for anticipating surgical duration based on patient and procedural characteristics. This work has direct implications for operating room resource allocation, reducing wait times, and lowering healthcare costs. By identifying key variables that influence operative time, Dr. Simon enables more efficient scheduling and better utilization of surgical teams. His contributions bridge clinical urology and health systems management, offering practical solutions for high-volume surgical centers. Dr. Simon’s research is particularly valuable for trainees and practitioners seeking to understand the operational factors that impact prostate cancer surgery, demonstrating how evidence-based planning can enhance both patient care and institutional efficiency.
