AB Surgeons  are  under  enormous  pressure  from  multiple  healthcare  stakeholders  to  measure  and  improve  their  performance.  Government  regulators  are  publicly  reporting  patient  outcomes  and  satisfaction  scores.1  Payers  are  reducing  reimbursements  based  on  quality  measurements.2  Licensing  boards  and  professional  societies  are  revising  member  certification  to  increasingly  include  performance  evaluation.3  Patients  are  now  searching  online  for  information  about  surgeon  outcomes  to  guide  where  they  seek  care.4  Surgeons  themselves  have  created  quality  collaboratives  to  share  best  practices  and  improve  their  own  performance.5,6  In  short,  we  are  in  an  era  of  unprecedented  focus  on  evaluating  and  reporting  the  work  of  surgeons.
