What about the equiv. of code reviews? For surgeons, take videos of each surgery, and have them rated by an impartial review panel. I can't find the link now, but I recently saw a segment posted on Youtube that compared a surgeon with good technique, to one with poor technique, and it correlated with the overall outcome of the patients.
- FLUX-YOU 13y agoI remember this, but I also can't find it. Part of it involved maintaining proper view of the field through laparoscopes, minimizing wasted movement, and avoiding unnecessary tissue damage. That last one has the most direct effect on outcomes, while the former two can lead to the third. The lower ranked surgeons would have the scope jostling around and the laparoscopic instruments would contact nearby tissues, while the higher ranked surgeons just seemed to have more elegance in his skill; a laser-precision focus to borrow from this thread and an intention and purpose for every movement. I had a similar impression watching that video on surgery technique to watching high level Starcraft player replays versus some afternoon ladder replays by mid-level players. When placed side-by-side, the differences were fairly obvious even if you've never done the act yourself.
