Surgeons who deal with critical illness are expected make their survival rates available to the public more frequently.
The prediction follows figures which show that 70 per cent of heart surgeons now put their results on the Healthcare Commission watchdog website.
It is thought that the move will encourage more surgeons who work on other critical illnesses to do the same.
That may have an impact on people with life insurance or critical illness insurance policies.
But Bernard Ribeiro told the BBC that more funds were required from the government in order to support such openness from surgeons.
"The scheme is working with heart surgery, and we now have to consider how it might work for other disciplines, in the interests of improving patient choice," he said.
"But it will be expensive and it must be the professions themselves who take the lead on this."
Data available on the commission website for 2005-2006 shows that all the UK's 39 heart units have satisfactory survival rates.

A new Critical Illness Recovery Plan product has been launched by RBC Insurance, offering a range of new unique features.
Features include a long term care insurance conversion option, which allows clients to convert their critical illness cover to long term care cover without the need for medical underwriting at the time.
It also includes an early assistance benefit in which ten per cent of the critical illness policy's face amount is paid if certain conditions which are included in the cover are diagnosed early.
Other features include a limited premium payment option and an improved return of premium option.
John Young, president and CEO of the company, said: "RBC Insurance is committed to providing distributors and their clients with industry-leading products and services.
"Our enhanced Critical Illness Recovery Plan was updated to include features and services that are valued by our clients and continues to provide exceptional coverage for Canadians facing a critical illness."

British residents with a pot belly would be well advised to snap up some life insurance or critical illness cover, according to new research.
A study at the University of Texas has revealed that the size of your belly could be an early indication of heart disease.
Analysis of the body shapes of 2,744 participants revealed that women with a waist size over 32 inches and men with a 37-inch waist or above were at a higher risk of suffering a heart attack or other cardiovascular problems.
The researchers discovered that atherosclerosis, linked to heart disease, was more common among pot-bellied people.
Professor James de Lemos, lead researcher, commented: "Fat that accumulates around your waist seems to be more biologically active as it secretes inflammatory proteins that contribute to atherosclerotic plaque build-up, whereas fat around your hips doesn't appear to increase risk for cardiovascular disease at all."
He added: "We think the key message for people is to prevent accumulation of central fat early on in their lives."
