What Is the Surgeon Performance Dashboard?
The Surgeon Performance Dashboard (SPD) is a structured, comprehensive, 7-metric system that measures, tracks, and improves a surgeon’s performance across the technical, cognitive, emotional, and leadership domains.
It Is the only system built specifically for surgeons to:
- Measure growth objectively
- Track consistency over time
- Identify weaknesses precisely
- Build confidence through data
- Achieve mastery with intention
- Avoid stagnation and plateauing
SPD provides a complete picture of a surgeon’s evolution.
This is not about judging.
This is about growth, mastery, and excellence.
Why SPD Was Created
Traditional surgical training measures:
Complications
Time taken
Case volume
But these metrics alone do not capture the true quality of a surgeon.
SPD fills the gap by measuring:
Mindset
Judgment
Micro-technique
Leadership
Emotional stability
Intra-op clarity
SPD makes the invisible… visible.
The subjective… measurable.
The unclear… actionable.
The 7 Metrics of SPD
Surgeons today face challenges that traditional training doesn’t address:
OES
OES — Operative Efficiency Score
How smoothly and efficiently you perform a procedure.
Track:
- Flow and rhythm
- Avoidable delays
- Smooth transitions
- Stepwise clarity
- Minimal fumbling or hesitation
TPI
TPI — Technical Precision Index
The quality, consistency, and finesse of your movements.
Measures:
- Clean dissection
- Respect for tissue planes
- Movement economy
- Camera–instrument coordination
- Stability and control
IES
IES — Intra-operative Events Score
Tracks minor and major events during surgery.
Includes:
- Bleeding incidents
- Dissection difficulties
- Unexpected challenges
- Near-miss situations
The goal is not zero events,
But better management of events.
TLCR
TLCR — Team Leadership & Communication Rating
How effectively you lead, communicate, and influence the OT.
Evaluates:
- Tone
- Clarity
- Instruction quality
- Emotional control
- Ability to keep the OT calm and aligned
A surgeon’s presence shapes the entire operation.
DMQI
DMQI — Decision-Making Quality Index
Your clarity, confidence, and adaptability.
Assesses:
- Anticipation
- Pattern recognition
- Bailout timing
- Crisis management
- Correctness of tactical decisions
Decision-making is the surgeon’s deepest skill.
POL
POL — Post-Operative Outcomes Log
Outcome patterns that reflect consistency.
Tracks:
- Seroma, SSI, hematoma
- Readmissions
- Reoperations
- Recurrence patterns
- Overall recovery quality
Patterns reveal performance, not individual cases.
SMRS
SMRS — Surgeon Mindset & Reflection Score
Your mental clarity, discipline, and emotional stability.
Captures:
- Pre-op focus
- Calmness under pressure
- Response to setbacks
- Reflection habits
- Identity strength and confidence
Master surgeons have mastered their minds.
How SPD Works
SPD becomes your performance mirror over the coaching journey.
- Monthly scoring across all 7 metrics
- Radar charts showing strengths and weaknesses
- Trend lines across 6–12 months
- Complication/event timeline plotting
- Micro-improvement mapping
- Comparative data between cases
- Identity & mindset trajectory
It is like having a high-performance athletic analysis system, but built specifically for surgeons.
What SPD Reveals
SPD helps you identify:
Where your technique needs refinement
How mindset affects your performance
Trends in outcomes
Hidden weaknesses that limit your growth
Which habits create inconsistency
When your decision-making is strongest
Stress behaviours affecting the OT
Your highest leverage improvement areas
SPD Tools You Will Use
Every surgeon receives:
Monthly SPD scorecard
Radar chart visual profile
Trend line progress chart
Event timeline (minor + major)
Case-performance scatter plot
Leadership feedback summary
Decision-making analysis
Identity and mindset trajectory map
These tools make your growth visible.
SPD in Each Programme Level
01
Level 1
Basic scoring, clarity mapping, identity assessment.
02
Level 2
Advanced scoring, trend lines, micro-technique mapping, video analysis.
03
Level 3
Deep personalised scoring, complex-case indicators, quarterly mastery reviews.
SPD grows with you, as you grow as a surgeon
