Section 2 Guidance

Consider baseline performance metrics, patient populations, types and volume of surgeries performed annually.

What is the target patient population?

What hospital parameters are required to demonstrate impact (i.e. case types/CPTs, annual case volume, qualifying baseline performance or metrics that indicate a need for improvement, etc.)

Section 3: Implementation Goals/Performance Measurement
