Description: Efficiency in intraoperative practices will be explored with data from the Cancer of the uterus and treatment of incontinence (CUTI) study, data from multidisciplinary care teams for morbidly adherent placentas and self-reported operative time data from the Relative Value Units Surveys. Postoperative care fragmentation and loss of efficiency will be extrapolated from the National Readmission Database.

Location: Kamehameha 3
