Background: Surgical error reduction requires addressing rapid adoption of new surgical technology. We propose development of a networked surgical assessment platform able to collect performance and outcomes data from multiple surgical platforms and sites for dynamic metrics analysis. Goal: Provide surgical signature (Surgome) of each surgeon by delivering automated performance feedback to accelerate learning curves and deriving summative and statistically valid trends in data for comparative effectiveness of new technologies. Task 1: Algorithm Development Deliverables
