Abstract

Interview with Dr. David Urbach on a plan to concentrate certain surgical procedures among the physicians and hospitals that perform the most of them. (09:55)Download Though we've long known that higher surgical volume results in lower postoperative mortality, surgeons are balking at a new “Volume Pledge” campaign. But the biggest problem is that such a pledge can't improve the quality of care at low-volume hospitals.
