From an institution’s perspective, the ‘big data’ needs to be tailored to yield the even more valuable ‘little data.’” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d32337229908c00018b90d4/1565819553707-403TQF8ZCZO9WSVS9GUD/AAOS+NOW+MAY+2018+PRESS+4.jpg Press/Media - “Big Data” versus “Little Data” In future studies, Dr. Varacallo said, “I want to continue this trend of advocating for the ‘little data’ in this increasingly popular era of ‘big data.’ We do not live in a one-size-fits-all society, and I and my group will continue to push for the individual institution’s voice amidst these controversial topics. We would like to explore the influence of additional clinical risk factors in this specific treatment category and analyze other future potential bundled payment models.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d32337229908c00018b90d4/1565820294343-YXC451BAB7W7BNC5XKYK/Press6.jpg Press/Media An automated system that identifies high-risk osteoporosis patients being treated for fractures and can generate letters encouraging follow-up is an effective way to promote osteoporosis intervention and prevent future fractures… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d32337229908c00018b90d4/1592599656820-Z290O9PDULSX1Q0KT4MV/MV+BECKER+65.jpg Press/Media - Matthew Varacallo MD named to Becker’s top 65 total knee replacement surgeons to know in 2020 The article distinguishes selected surgeons as having “led accomplished careers and hold(ing) leadership positions at some of the top instutions across the United States.

Varacallo, MD, “Very few adjustments to incorporate these teachings have been made to most residency training curricula, and the lack of time and resources remains the concern of many surgical programs. We have demonstrated that orthopedic resident knowledge in these important areas drastically improves after a single, high-yield 45-minute teaching session.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d32337229908c00018b90d4/1565818386622-JBFEKRVG1E8SFTJDAQ68/Press3.jpg Press/Media - “ ” “The conflicting issues behind this stem from not only are physicians expected to correctly code for the services provided, but also with orthopedic surgery, we have at least 5 years of extra training beyond medical school.
