Enroll Now in ACS SSR Practice Improvement Initiative

With the SSR PII, surgeons can perform quality data assessment to identify trends, gaps, and improvement opportunities.

June 21, 2022

The ACS Surgeon Specific Registry (ACS SSR™) is offering the second cycle of the continuous SSR Practice Improvement Initiative (SSR PII) 2022—Quality Case Data Review and Reflection activity July through December 2022. With the SSR PII, surgeons can perform quality data assessment to identify trends, gaps, and improvement opportunities.

Surgeons developed the initiative 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. The report focuses on preoperative and postoperative data, and surgeons can learn from their data continually and determine successful outcomes or steps they can take in the future to ensure the best outcomes for their patients.

The EASE model can help you understand how to participate:

  • Enter your clinically relevant case data
  • Analyze your quality data continually via SSR analytics, SSR reports, and a benchmarking report
  • Share what you have learned with your peers on the experience exchange call facilitated by a PII surgeon moderator
  • Evaluate and identify areas to enhance your practice performance (trends, gaps, and improvement actions)

Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
