This is a pilot project with the goal of adding information on the “patient experience” & quality of life to the MBSAQIP data set. They have developed an automated system that sends emails and reminders to patients once they are registered (preoperative and annually). Validated tools are utilized (PROMIS 10, Obesity-related Problem Scale, Obesity and Weight Loss Quality of Life Instrument). Data is compiled by patient, provider, and center, and further broken down by surgeon and center with a national comparison by procedure.
