The majority of adverse events experienced by hospitalized patients occur in surgery. Surgery offers the ideal setting to explore these three components critical to improving the US healthcare system. Examine factors that influence the care we provide and critically consider the value of this care. Observe efforts to improve value in surgery focusing on quality, safety and appropriate utilization of critical resources and consider areas for improvement. Follow patients in all processes of care from clinic, to the operating room, through their postoperative course, to discharge, and consider how important measures to secure safety and quality are encountered and impact care in the clinical arena. Consider price and allocation of scarce resources. Gather information for their analysis of the patient experience. ### requirements text MED SC-M 810,811,812, and813 ### credit offering ids None recorded. ### llm job id
