Sample Surgeon Comparison Dashboard

The Surgeon Comparison Dashboard puts California surgeons side by side on the metrics that actually predict outcomes, so you can compare candidates for your procedure at a glance. Every comparison is built from objective data, 100% independent and unbiased, and tailored to your procedure and ZIP code.

Metrics Compared

• Surgery volume — total surgeries performed; higher volume typically indicates more experience
• Complication rate — percentage of patients with a complication within 30 days (lower is better)
• 30-day readmission rate — percentage returning to hospital within 30 days of discharge
• Average length of stay — average days in hospital after surgery
• Composite percentile — where a surgeon ranks vs. others (90th percentile = top 10%)
• Risk-adjusted stars — star rating after accounting for how sick or complex each surgeon's patients were
• Safety Gate status — malpractice, disciplinary, and outlier screening

How Surgeons Are Ranked

A weighted composite score combines surgery volume, complication rate, and length of stay into a single ranking. Complications are risk-adjusted using an observed-vs-expected ratio: 0.5 means half the expected complications (very good), while 1.5 means 50% more (concerning). Every metric includes a plain-English explanation and a data-confidence level.

Full Comparison Matrix & Glossary

The dashboard includes a full side-by-side comparison matrix and a glossary defining every term — from NPI (a provider's unique 10-digit identifier) to length of stay, percentile rank, and risk-adjusted star rating.
