American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP)

The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP) is a system that helps hospitals track and improve the quality of surgical care. By collecting detailed data on patients' outcomes after surgery, it identifies areas for improvement, reduces complications, and enhances patient safety. Hospitals use this information to implement best practices, monitor progress over time, and ensure high standards are maintained. Essentially, ACS NSQIP supports continuous quality improvement in surgical practices, leading to safer surgeries and better recovery outcomes for patients.
