The operation index is used to track and report surgical procedures performed by specific physicians or in specific areas of a healthcare facility, making it the most likely location to find information on the number of coronary artery bypass grafts performed by a particular physician. The patient register and disease index are used to track patient demographics and diagnosis codes, respectively, and would not provide the specific information requested. The birth defects register is used to track congenital anomalies and would also not provide the specific information requested.
