Abstract
Introduction: Data abstraction from patient charts is a common method for measuring quality of surgical care; however, it has inherent difficulties (i.e., lack of documentation of data in medical records). Recently there has been increased use of standardized templates and clinical pathways in many surgical fields. Whether or not the use of standardized templates is associated with better documentation of quality of care measures remains unknown. This study investigates adherence rates of documentation for intraoperative bariatric quality measures by comparing surgeons who use standardized operative dictation templates to those who do not.
