Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	number of post-op wound complications	Incidence of inpatient post-operative wound complications will be documented through the use of an inpatient data collection sheet. Incidence of outpatient post-operative wound complication will be documented through the use of an outpatient data collection sheet that will be completed by a provider at the time of the routine post-operative follow-up visit, which will occur at 30 days +/- 5 days after the day of surgery as well as through ongoing documentation of events as elicited through the institution's standard reporting system to collect information on enrolled patients.	30 days +/- 5 days after surgery
