Seven LSU Health Shreveport faculty members received Healthcare Research All-Star Awards from Avant-Garde Health, an organization that provides health systems and physicians with insight to their surgical care through specialized data-driven software.
This award honors the outstanding surgeons whose contributions to healthcare research significantly enhance the quality of patient care. Healthcare Research All-Stars are based on hospital-based procedures. For LSU Health Shreveport physicians, these procedures occur at an Ochsner LSU Health hospital in Shreveport or Monroe.
The award’s study examined U.S. research from more than 4,000 hospitals and 90,000 surgeons and includes only the top five percent based on the quantity and quality of their published research in the fields of cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, vascular surgery, otolaryngology (ENT), gastroenterology, neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery, spine surgery, urology, surgical oncology, and general surgery.
