National Surgical Quality Improvement Program

The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) is a national initiative that helps hospitals improve the quality and safety of surgical care. By collecting detailed data on patients undergoing surgery, NSQIP identifies areas where hospitals excel or need improvement. It provides hospitals with feedback and benchmarks against national standards, enabling them to implement strategies to reduce complications, enhance patient outcomes, and ensure best practices. Overall, NSQIP aims to make surgeries safer, more effective, and consistent across healthcare facilities.
