Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP)

The Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP) is a national initiative aimed at enhancing the quality of surgical care and reducing complications for patients undergoing surgery. It focuses on implementing best practices before, during, and after surgery to ensure better patient outcomes. SCIP emphasizes important areas like infection prevention, safe use of antibiotics, and proper blood management. By following these guidelines, healthcare providers can minimize risks and improve recovery for patients, ultimately leading to safer surgical experiences and improved overall healthcare quality.
