ACS National Surgical Quality Improvement Program

The ACS National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) is a quality improvement initiative by the American College of Surgeons that helps hospitals monitor and improve the safety and effectiveness of surgical care. It collects detailed data on patients undergoing surgery, including outcomes like complications and recovery, and compares these results across different hospitals. This information enables healthcare providers to identify areas for improvement, adopt best practices, and ultimately deliver safer, higher-quality surgical care for patients.
