Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Surgical Experience vs Average Completion times of surgical procedures

    A measurement of the surgeon's experience (in years) since completion of training until the surgical procedure (Day of surgery/Day 1) will be compared to the surgeon's average time (measured in minutes) to complete the surgical procedure.

    intraoperative

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Variability in Completion times of surgical procedures to predict scheduling difficulties.

    intraoperative

  • Preadmission Testing and how it relates to the surgical procedure: time to completion, delays in starting time and/or cancellation.

    Day 1

  • Patient Acuity vs Complexity of surgical procedure

    Day 1
