About
Dr. Thomas Lanchoney is a urologist and health services researcher whose work focuses on improving surgical outcomes and patient safety, particularly through opioid stewardship and collaborative quality improvement. His most cited study, "Stakeholder Perspective on Opioid Stewardship After Prostatectomy: Evaluating Barriers and Facilitators From the Pennsylvania Urology Regional Collaborative" (2020, 3 citations), exemplifies his commitment to translating evidence into practice. In this work, Dr. Lanchoney led a multi-stakeholder analysis within a regional collaborative, identifying critical barriers—such as patient expectations and provider habits—and facilitators like standardized prescribing protocols and team-based communication. This research directly informs strategies to reduce postoperative opioid overprescription without compromising pain control, addressing a pressing public health crisis. Beyond this paper, his contributions to the Pennsylvania Urology Regional Collaborative demonstrate his leadership in fostering data-driven, collaborative care models that enhance surgical recovery and minimize harm. With a growing citation footprint, Dr. Lanchoney’s work is shaping how urologists approach pain management and quality improvement, making him a key voice in the movement toward safer, more patient-centered surgical care.
