Abstract
Demonstrating positive outcomes after surgical intervention is an important aspect for the patient and payor in today's health care setting. A lower extremity arterial reconstruction program was established and has shown a decrease in length of stay. Additional long-term outcome measures related to graft patency surveillance, readmission rate and related cause, and functional health status are being implemented.
