Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Surgery
  • Health care
  • Internal medicine

John E. Wennberg mainly investigates Prostatectomy, Surgery, Internal medicine, Demography and Prostate cancer. His Prostatectomy research incorporates elements of Transurethral resection of the prostate, Cholecystectomy and Urology. His study on Implant, Perioperative and Internal fixation is often connected to Avascular necrosis and Femoral neck as part of broader study in Surgery.

His studies in Internal medicine integrate themes in fields like Oncology and Patient participation. His studies deal with areas such as Public reporting, Geographic variation, Incidence and Pediatrics as well as Demography. His research integrates issues of Recurrent Cancer and Sexual function in his study of Prostate cancer.

His most cited work include:

  • Small Area Variations in Health Care Delivery (1530 citations)
  • Variations in medical care among small areas. (727 citations)
  • Small-Area Variations in the Use of Common Surgical Procedures: An International Comparison of New England, England, and Norway (690 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

John E. Wennberg focuses on Health care, Demography, Prostatectomy, Surgery and Family medicine. The Health care study combines topics in areas such as Nursing, Quality, Intensive care and MEDLINE. His Demography study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Incidence, Gerontology and Referral.

His Prostatectomy study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Transurethral resection of the prostate. John E. Wennberg has included themes like Epidemiology and Emergency medicine in his Surgery study. Many of his research projects under Family medicine are closely connected to Medical care with Medical care, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Health care (30.59%)
  • Demography (17.65%)
  • Prostatectomy (21.76%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2020)?

  • Health care (30.59%)
  • Demography (17.65%)
  • Medicaid (5.88%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary scientific interests are in Health care, Demography, Medicaid, Variation and Nursing. His research ties Family medicine and Health care together. His research in Demography intersects with topics in Cross-sectional study, Observational study, Fee-for-service and Referral.

In his work, Scientific evidence, Intervention and MEDLINE is strongly intertwined with Regional variation, which is a subfield of Variation. His Nursing research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Quality and Patient choice. His Surgery study incorporates themes from Context, Internal medicine, Case fatality rate and Chronic condition.

Between 2005 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Toward The ‘Tipping Point’: Decision Aids And Informed Patient Choice (345 citations)
  • Regional Variations in Diagnostic Practices (304 citations)
  • Understanding of regional variation in the use of surgery (281 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Surgery
  • Health care
  • Law

John E. Wennberg spends much of his time researching Demography, Variation, Patient choice, Health care and Pediatrics. The concepts of his Demography study are interwoven with issues in Fee-for-service, Medicare FFS, Health maintenance and Environmental health. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Value, Actuarial science, Treatment decision making and Public relations.

His Health care study frequently links to related topics such as Family medicine. His work deals with themes such as Surgery and Patient participation, which intersect with Scientific evidence. His Surgery research focuses on Risk factor and how it relates to Cross-sectional study and Confidence interval.
