Definition of outcome measures including competency, progression, organizational and patient aspects

Target	Explanation
Surgical competency
Soft skills	Communication and feedback culture; rate of performed standardized communication
Practical skills	Successful performed simulator training due to predetermined exercises; intraoperative overall workload evaluation by NASA Task Load Index; ability of bedside assistance independently (OSCORE and residents’ feedback questionnaire); rate of independent performed intraoperative procedural steps at the robotic console and their complexity
Surgical progression
Practical skills	Difference between planned/preoperative specified intraoperative procedural steps and actual performed intraoperative procedural steps; relation to surgical experience level
Organization
Participant motivation	Repetitive data analysis for involved personnel to enhance learning progression including feedback and NASA Task Load Index results
Personnel scheduling	Successful implementation given by rate of scheduled and actual involved personnel to robotic procedures; achievement of targeted number of procedures
Patient safety	Assurance of state-of-the art surgical performance by standardization of robotic procedures; intraoperative overall workload evaluation by NASA Task Load Index; patient outcome including operation parameters, morbidity and mortality
