The outcomes that matter to your patients.

The clinical record captures your assessment. But some of the most important outcomes are experienced by the patient after they leave your care.

In breast surgery, outcomes can extend beyond the technical result — including pain, sensation, appearance, recovery, quality of life and how patients feel about their treatment and recovery. In endocrine surgery, patients may experience changes in voice, swallowing, symptoms or calcium-related issues that emerge or evolve after the operation.

These experiences can be difficult to capture consistently through routine follow-up alone. Some patients raise concerns at their appointments; others may adapt to changes, seek care elsewhere, or simply not mention them.

PROMs gives patients a structured opportunity to report how they are doing, adding their perspective to the clinical outcomes you already capture and helping build a clearer picture of recovery over time.

Which leaves the questions you cannot answer from memory:

Would my patients rate their result the way I have recorded it?

How many of my thyroidectomy patients still have voice changes at six months?

What is my true rate of permanent hypocalcaemia?

WHAT ALREADY GETS MEASURED

WHAT ALREADY GETS MEASURED

Your breast audit is mandatory and detailed.
It records almost nothing about complications, and nothing from your patients.

Your data in real time.

Breast surgery in Australia and New Zealand has something rare and worth valuing: a mandatory audit that reports to the individual surgeon rather than the unit. But its performance indicators are process measures, covering referral, therapy, multidisciplinary discussion and timing. It records the cosmetic result as scored by the operating surgeon, and it collects no patient-reported outcome at all.

For endocrine surgery there is almost nothing. There is no association audit, and the only thyroid registry is voluntary, covers cancer alone, and excludes benign thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal surgery entirely. In the United Kingdom, endocrine surgeons receive a personal outcomes dashboard they can use for appraisal. Here, the same annual audit obligation applies with no vehicle to meet it.

THE PATIENT’S VIEW

Ask the patient, rather than deciding for them.

PROMS sends validated surveys to your patients by SMS at intervals appropriate to the procedure. When you set up each case, you select the relevant PROMs, and SurgicalPerformance manages the scheduled follow-up.

Patients can report on their recovery in their own time, between appointments, giving them a structured opportunity to share experiences that may not always come up during a consultation.

For breast surgery, that might include pain, sensation, appearance, recovery, quality of life and satisfaction with their outcome. For thyroid and parathyroid surgery, it may include changes in voice, swallowing, symptoms, calcium-related issues and how recovery progresses over time.

Their responses sit alongside your clinical data, giving you both perspectives — what you assess clinically and what your patients report about their experience.

Quick Case lets you or your rooms add a case and schedule surveys in seconds. Record as much detail as you prefer.

Step 02

Follow-up runs itself

Surveys run automatically, and responses come back to you, privately.

Step 04

Reflect and act

After reviewing your cases you can identify areas for improvement, patterns of outcomes that warrant change or gather information for CPD.

THE RECORD COMPOUNDS

The record you build is yours, and it gets more valuable every year.

Published work on thyroid surgery has consistently found that most thyroidectomies are performed by surgeons who do very few of them each year, and that complication rates differ measurably between low and high volume operators. If you perform a modest number of a given procedure annually, one year of your own data is noise. Five years is a signal.

A surgeon who starts recording this year has a decade of their own outcome data in ten years’ time. One who waits five years does not, and cannot get those years back.

Evidence for your annual surgical audit

Surgeons are expected to audit their own practice each year and submit it for peer review, benchmarked against a standard or against peers, and patient feedback is a recognised part of reviewing your own performance. If your breast work is already captured elsewhere, SurgicalPerformance adds the complication and patient-reported layers that audit does not collect, and covers your endocrine practice, which has no audit of its own.

frequently asked questions

How can I track my breast surgery outcomes?

Record each case and its outcomes in one place as you operate. SurgicalPerformance captures your activity, complications and what your patients report continuously, and presents them on a single private dashboard.

Can I track thyroid and parathyroid complications?

Yes. Nerve injury, voice change, hypocalcaemia, haematoma and return to theatre are recorded as they happen, so your own rates are calculated from your cases rather than estimated from memory.

Does this replace my breast quality audit?

No. It is designed to sit alongside it. The existing audit covers the treatment pathway and reports to you individually, which is valuable. SurgicalPerformance adds the complications it does not record and the patient-reported results it does not collect.

Can I collect patient-reported outcomes after breast surgery?

Can I collect patient-reported outcomes after breast surgery? Yes. Validated surveys are sent to your patients by SMS at intervals appropriate to the procedure, so satisfaction with the result comes from the patient rather than from your assessment of it.

Who can see my data?

Only you. Your records are not shared with your hospital, your college or your insurer, and they do not appear in any public rating. Only de-identified, aggregated data powers peer benchmarks.

Is there an audit for endocrine surgery?

There is no dedicated association audit for endocrine surgery in Australia or New Zealand, and the available thyroid registry is voluntary and limited to cancer. SurgicalPerformance covers thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal work, including benign disease.
