Your SSR Questions Answered: Join February Webinar to Learn about Using Data to Improve Outcomes

The ACS Surgeon Specific Registry (ACS SSR™) offers surgeons an opportunity to easily track their cases and outcomes. Are you taking full advantage of the registry? In 2023, make sure to register for the SSR Practice Improvement Initiative (SSR PII) - Quality Case Data Review and Reflection activity, which will help you to get the most out of the SSR to perform quality data assessment with the goal of identifying trends, gaps, and improvement opportunities.

Don’t delay—register for a February SSR PII Basics Webinar on one of the following dates and times (all Central Time) to get started:

  • Wednesday, February 1, 11:00 am – 12:00 pm
  • Thursday, February 2, 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
  • Friday, February 3, 10:00 am – 11:00 am
  • Thursday, February 9, 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm

The PII was developed by surgeons, for surgeons. It provides opportunities for continual collection, review, and education based on their case data, including outcomes. Interactive sessions increase surgeon engagement and information exchange, and surgeon participants can obtain Continuing Medical Education (CME) credit for their participation.

In addition, using the analytics functionality and benchmarking report, surgeons can compare their individual data against aggregated SSR and ACS National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP®) data.

Enroll now into the SSR PII 2023 or contact the SSR team at ssr@facs.org for more information.

The ACS designates this Other activity (Quality Data Review and Assessment of Trends) for a maximum of 28.50 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. Of the AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ listed above, a maximum of 10 credits meet the requirements for Self-Assessment.
