Theator surfaces several signals on and around a case to help you decide what to review first: a complexity grade, the Recommended and Trending labels, and priority flags. This article explains what each signal means, how it is determined, and where you will see it.
Complexity grade
When available, a complexity grade reflects how difficult the recorded procedure was. Theator determines the grade from annotations on the procedure, and it uses one scale of five levels:
- Low
- Moderate
- Considerable
- High
- Extreme
On the case page you will see the grade in two places: as a five-segment gauge in the video overlay (more segments filled means higher complexity) and as a Complexity: value in the case information panel. Not all cases have a complexity grade; the gauge and label appear only when one is available.
Use the complexity grade to quickly spot the more demanding cases in a list, or to compare how a procedure went relative to its difficulty.
The Recommended and Trending labels
When you open a case, the case video can show a Recommended ⭐ label, a Trending 🔥 label, or both, in its top-right corner; in case lists the same signals appear as recommended and trending tags on the case card. Recommended cases have been rated valuable by more viewers than not; Trending cases have been viewed frequently across your organization recently.
For a full explanation of what each label means and how a case earns it, see What the Recommended and Trending Case Badges Mean.
Priority flags
Theator flags case signals that fall outside expected ranges so you can quickly identify cases that may need review. Flags cover a range of signals, including intraoperative events, extended operating time, idle time, elevated blood loss, extended post-operative length of stay, and team size. Each flag carries a priority:
- High
- Medium
- Low
Where you will see priority flags:
- On the case page (desktop): for a High- or Medium-priority case with at least one flagged event, a red (High) or amber (Medium) pill over the video shows the priority and the number of flagged events, for example High · 2 flagged events. Hover the pill to see the details: the Case priority line, each flagged event (click one to jump to it in the video), and View similar cases in Triage. Low-priority cases show no pill. The pill appears when you open the case and is hidden once the video starts playing. It is not shown during live viewing, on the Operative Report tab, or on mobile.
- On case cards: each High- or Medium-priority flag appears as a tag named after the flag, red for High and amber for Medium, in the card's row of tags. Low-priority flags do not appear on the card.
To review other cases with similar flags, hover the priority pill on the desktop case page and select View similar cases in Triage. For more on the review workflow, see the Case Triage article linked below.
Where wRVU appears
Cases that have a work relative value unit (wRVU) value show a Total wRVU: badge in the case information panel on the case page. Theator derives this total by matching the case's medical codes to RVU values from billing data and summing the matched values. The badge appears only when the total is greater than zero; cases where matched codes produce a zero or negative total do not display the badge.
