The Challenge
The chair of the general surgery department, Dr. Danit Dayan, had limited visibility into the department’s surgical quality performance. Dr. Dayan implemented Theator’s Surgical Intelligence Platform that automatically captures and analyzes operative surgical video. This analysis surfaced high adoption of surgical practices in gastric bypass and appendectomy procedures, but low adoption in Cholecystectomies.
The Outcome
Dr. Dayan implemented a department-wide quality improvement initiative to drive higher adoption of Critical View of Safety (CVS) in laparoscopic Cholecystectomies, a key surgical best practice to minimize the risk of complications. After several months, the department achieved a 77% increase in adoption of CVS, while also reducing operative time by 28%. By driving the adoption of this one surgical practice, the department was performing higher quality, more efficient procedures.
