Digital Innovation in Healthcare

Can digital transformation change surgical education for the better?

On this episode of Digital Transformation Success, host Priscilla McKinney talks with guest and co-founder and CEO of Surgery Unified, Dr. Mark Soliman, about the innovative SurgeOn platform and its impact on the medical field. Dr. Soliman, chief of colorectal surgery at Advent Health Digestive Health Institute, brings his extensive background in surgical education and advanced robotic colorectal surgery to the conversation.

Soliman describes SurgeOn as a digital transformation platform for surgical networking and education. He describes it as a mixture of professional social media platforms, tailored specifically for surgeons. The platform aims to address issues in surgical education by providing a cohesive space for learning, networking, and professional development.

The conversation explores how SurgeOn is transforming surgical education through digital innovation. Soliman explains that the platform enables surgeons to search, sort, and filter operative videos down to specific steps, allowing for targeted learning. This approach to digital transformation in healthcare aims to improve surgical techniques and patient outcomes.

Soliman discusses the broader implications of this digital transformation solution for the healthcare industry. He emphasizes the importance of including medical device manufacturers and industry representatives in the platform, albeit with restricted access. This collaborative approach ensures that product development is informed by real surgical needs, potentially leading to better tools and techniques. The platform's focus on privacy and identity verification is also highlighted as crucial for maintaining a professional and trustworthy environment.

"SurgeOn… fundamentally,” Soliman explains. “Is a surgical networking and education platform."

Finally, Soliman shares an example of how SurgeOn has directly impacted patient care by enabling surgeons to learn from shared experiences of managing complications. He discusses the platform's potential for expanding to include other healthcare professionals and international users, while maintaining strict identity verification processes.
