Abstract

Surgical case costing is critical for health leaders to make decisions about resource utilization. Synoptic reporting offers the potential for surgeons to capture these costs and work with other leaders to make evidence-based decisions. The purpose of this study was to determine whether surgeons documented intra-operative cost drivers as part of their operative report. This article outlines a synoptic reporting system at a quaternary spine care centre. Data were captured from 2015 to 2020. Surgeon rates of documentation for specific devices, bone graft, and surgical adjuncts were evaluated. It is hoped that the results of this survey will help to guide programs to capture costs in other settings.
