The Quality and Utility of Surgical and Anesthetic Data at a Ugandan Regional Referral Hospital
Abstract
BACKGROUND: There are little primary data available on the delivery or quality of surgical treatment in rural sub-Saharan African hospitals. To initiate a quality improvement system, we characterized the existing data capture at a Ugandan Regional Referral Hospital.
METHODS: We examined the surgical ward admission (January 2008-December/2011) and operating theater logbooks (January 2010-July 2011) at Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital.
