model of care delivery that allows for greater
coordination among hospital and clinic medical
team members where health care providers can
work on the same patients in tandem. Coupled
with an electronic medical record used across
the care continuum, this model helps improve
the patient experience and prevent unnecessary medical tests, while aiming to reduce the
amount of time a patient spends in the hospital.

by James Fleshman, MD, chief of surgery at
Baylor University Medical Center, according
to the American Society of Clinical Oncology.
Dr. Fleshman's research was selected for
inclusion in Clinical Cancer Advances 2017,
the society's annual review of progress against
cancer and emerging trends in the field. The
study, originally published in JAMA, found that
laparoscopic surgery for stage II and stage III
rectal cancer patients may not be a superior
option to open surgery.
"I'm honored that our work was considered
among the major advances in cancer research
last year," Dr. Fleshman said. "We're pleased to
contribute to ongoing trials that will help give
cancer patients the best possible outcome and
chance for survival."
