Protocol for a scoping review on 'surgical sabermetrics:' technology-enhanced measurement of operative non-technical skills.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Surgeons need high fidelity, high quality, objective, non-judgemental and quantitative feedback to measure their performance in order to optimise their performance and improve patient safety. This can be provided through surgical sabermetrics, defined as 'advanced analytics of digitally recorded surgical training and operative procedures to enhance insight, support professional development and optimise clinical and safety outcomes'. The aim of this scoping review is to investigate the assessment of surgeon's non-technical skills using sabermetrics principles, focusing on digital, automated measurements that do not require a human observer.

Methods and analysis
