Keeping surgery safe through data

Many medical procedures involve some form of risk though this can vary between people, procedures, and locations. Why is the same surgery higher risk for some people? Can having surgery at one hospital truly be more risky than another? Join hospital data specialists Katriina and Kate as they discuss what goes in to the accurate evaluation of risk when you go under the knife and the hospital data that helps us to better understand these risks, making surgery safer.
