- Cohort 1-VATS-associated best practices
- description
- * Data to be collected will include demographic data and information about the pre-operative workup, surgical procedure, postoperative course and early discharge course for these patients. * After the last patient completes the 30-day post surgery follow-up, the investigators will determine a set of best practices to implement at each of the sites for the quality improvement initiative. During the assessment period, no patients will be enrolled into the study.
