Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Adherence to the guideline. Adherence is measured by a set of quality indicators for perioperative care. These indicators have been developed by the same professionals in the peri-operative care who developed the guidelines. An example of a quality indicator is the percentage of patients who received antibiotic prophylaxes in time. The numerator include the number of patients that received antibiotic prophylaxes in time; the denominator consists of the total included patient population (n=50 per measurement point per hospital).<br>Data collection takes place in the hospital.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Patient safety, in terms of:<br /><br>1. Reduction perioperative morbidity;<br /><br>2. Reduction perioperative mortality;<br /><br>3. Reduction unplanned care: Length of stay, e-operation, admission to intensive care.<br><br /><br /><br>Data collection takes place in the hospital.
