    Main Results:

    • Indicator criteria can effectively screen surgical cases for review.
    • Non-physician personnel can utilize indicator criteria for initial screening.
    • Screening surveillance using indicator criteria identifies cases needing further committee review.
    • Indicator criteria may be inappropriate for procedures with evolving or controversial surgical indications.

    Conclusions:

    • Adoption of indicator criteria can streamline surgical case review processes.
    • Indicator-based screening enhances the assurance of appropriate surgical service utilization.
    • A policy of individual case review should be maintained for surgical procedures with uncertain or debated indications.
