Introduction to the Combined ACS NSQIP & ACS Quality Verification Program | ACS

Clifford Y. Ko, MD, MS, MSHS, FACS, FASCRS, Director of the ACS Division of Research and Optimal Care, discusses the expansion of the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement (ACS NSQIP®) to include the ACS Quality Verification Program (QVP).

Hospitals participating in ACS NSQIP® will now have a new resource available to further improve surgical quality for their patients: the ACS QVP. ACS QVP is a standards-based verification program designed to help sites improve quality across surgical departments using their NSQIP risk-adjusted data. Built on the proven ACS quality improvement model of standards, infrastructure, data, and verification, this program will help sites leverage their NSQIP data to drive quality improvement.
