The American College of Surgeons helps to improve patient care by addressing 3 critical components: care, evaluation, and improvement. Adhering to the College’s high standards results in higher quality of care, which leads to more accurate clinical data, and system-wide change. Hospitals that participate in one of our Quality Programs, including ACS NSQIP, earn the distinction as an ACS Surgical Quality Partner (SQP).
The ACS NSQIP is a variable-based data registry designed to improve hospital-wide quality across all surgical departments. ACS NSQIP helps surgical and quality teams make informed decisions about the improvement of quality of care while reducing complications and costs.
Reports sourced directly from patient records provide hospitals and staff with the most accurate and risk-adjusted data to inform patient outcomes.
