Table 5. Quality Metrics.
Note: SVMC joined the COI in September 2019. SVMC uses a different platform to track postoperative navigator calls, and therefore, we only have access to data on patients needing a postoperative follow-up call from MMC.
DVT: deep vein thrombosis; MMC: MidState Medical Center; PE: pulmonary embolism; SVMC: St. Vincent’s Medical Center
