OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Designed sampling from databases (DSD) methods have been used to cross-check electronic medical records for errors, structure study design, and, we hypothesize, can be used to make data collection for surgical quality metrics more efficient, particularly within national databases. We plan to apply statistical and DSD methods to accomplish the following aims: 1.Identify the most important elements in managing post-operative pain2.Identify the most informative procedure or population-based targets to focus collection of additional, labor-intense detail surrounding adequacy of pain control (i.e., Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs)).
