Surgical Outcomes Quiz

Are you a Surgeon or a Hospital Administrator?*
- Surgeon
- Hospital Administrator

1. Are your surgical outcomes as good as those from other surgeons (return to the operating theatre, readmission, blood loss and transfusion, etc.)?*
- Yes
- No
- I don't know
SurgicalPerformance allows you to track your own surgical outcomes and to compare your outcomes with surgeons in your institution, your country and internationally.

2. Would you like to track your outcomes to know that you are within safe boundaries?*
- Yes
- No
SurgicalPerformance will give you access to comparative data as well as accurate and meaningful data on your surgical outcomes plotted over time.

3. Would you know first (before anyone else knows) if your outcomes were declining gradually?*
- Yes
- No
SurgicalPerformance offers real-time CUSUM plots on meaningful surgical outcomes that allow you to visualize and observe outcome incidences on a time line.

4. Do complications have a profound impact on your professional and personal life?*
- Yes
- No
SurgicalPerformance allows you to measure your outcomes specifically for the type of surgical procedure. Outcomes include your complication rates and enables a rational approach rather than emotionally overwhelming responses.

5. Do you feel the need of robust and relevant data in case of a legal challenge?*
- Yes
- No
SurgicalPerformance is your personal, confidential database on your procedures and outcomes. Results on how many procedures you have done and their outcomes can be obtained by a few mouse clicks.

1. Are your department’s surgical outcomes as good as the ones from other departments?*
- Yes
- No
- I don't know
SurgicalPerformance allows you to track your institution’s outcomes and compare them with institutions beyond geographical and organizational boundaries.

2. What are you currently benchmarking against?*
- Other departments in my organisation
- I don't benchmark
SurgicalPerformance allows you to benchmark against other institutions beyond geographical and organizational boundaries. It will allow you to explore where you rank in the quality of the service you currently provide and you will be able to track your outcomes on a time line.

3. How clinically meaningful are your data?*
- We use administration data entered by coders
- I'm not sure
SurgicalPerformance is developed by surgeons for surgeons. We collect clinically meaningful data (e.g., return to the operating theatre, readmission, blood loss and transfusion, etc.) that inform our users about real clinical outcomes. These outcomes are often not codable and outside the scope of routine administration data coded to ICD.

4. Do you include your surgeons as stakeholders in QA activities?*
- Yes
- No
SurgicalPerformance allows you to have an open and constructive conversation about surgical outcomes measurement in your institution. While honouring the individual surgeon’s confidentiality, SurgicalPerformance allows you to collaborate with your medical specialists to the benefit of patients, specialists and the institution.

5. What do you think is your institution’s reputation?*
- I'm sure it’s great
How would you know if the quality of your service to patients would start declining gradually? SurgicalPerformance will contribute to your institution’s reputation because you will be able to demonstrate that you care about providing top quality service.

The reverse Trendelenburg position is the position gynaecological surgeons use to perform the vast majority of pelvic surgery. It allows the bowel to move out of the way and together with CO2 insufflation it creates space to operate in the pelvis. Prolonged and steep “head down” positioning may have adverse effects and those include cardiovascular […]

Warning against complications led to a rise in complications

An FDA warning against power morcellation of uterine fibroids caused an increase in abdominal surgery and increased rates of postoperative complications. In November 2014, the US FDA issued a warning against power morcellation of uterine fibroids in conjunction with laparoscopic hysterectomy. The main concern was that unprotected morcellation within the pelvic cavity may lead to […]

A new report suggests that poor surgical performers could be easily identified, and identifying those outliers would save patients from harm.
