Uncomfortable, but over all a good thing as long as the system uses this information properly; offering doctors additional supportive training, if appropriate. (And not forgetting that the doctors with the the worst recovery rates may be the ones predisposed to take the trickiest cases).

IIRC there are a lot of surgeons not taking on cases already because of the risk involved to their career. This might exacerbate it if the data is used blindly.
