Surgical Quality & Patient Safety
The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP) is a quality improvement database that allows hospitals to focus their quality improvement efforts in the areas that matter most. Targeting high-risk and high complication rate procedures, NSQIP allows for better tracking, trending and high levels of data analysis. NSQIP participation also allows hospitals to collaborate on surgical care improvement while benchmarking like institutions.
The UCLA Health System Surgical Quality Team is very excited to begin participating in NSQIP. We will have more information about this great program posted soon. If you have questions or would like more information now, please contact our NSQIP Coordinator: hdash@mednet.ucla.edu.
