A new framework called AI-enabled Surgical Quality Assurance is proposed for using surgical video data to continuously assess and improve operating room care. This approach leverages artificial intelligence to extract clinically meaningful information from intraoperative video, such as anatomy, instruments, workflow, and adverse events. While AI can augment surgical teams and scale expert review, significant challenges remain, including data collection, validation, workflow integration, regulation, and privacy, before routine clinical value can be realized. AI
IMPACT This framework could lead to continuous improvement in surgical care by providing objective, data-driven insights into operating room procedures.
