Gur et al1 clearly demonstrated the superiority of the synoptic report for inclusion of preselected data points. Some of the data points were demographic, easily retrievable from other parts of the electronic record. Others, like nipple and skin excision, may have been omitted by the attending surgeons because they were clearly not part of the operation (eg, lumpectomy). Had the attending surgeons known the preselected data points, they probably would have included them in the report.
