Improving surgical outcomes through benchmarking
This article outlines the application of benchmarking and proposes a standard approach of benchmark determination in surgery, including the establishment of best achievable real‐world postoperative outc omes. Parameters used for this purpose must be reproducible, objective and universal. A systematic approach for determining benchmarks enables self‐assessment of surgical outcome and facilitates the detection of areas for improvement. The intention of benchmarking is to stimulate surgeons' genuine endeavour for perfection, rather than to judge centre or surgeon performance. (Source: British Journal of Surgery)
