ACS Geriatric Surgery Verification Program

Care for older adults is becoming central to inpatient performance. GSV offers a clear pathway to strengthen quality, efficiency, and outcomes.

ACS Geriatric Surgery Verification Program

The ACS Geriatric Surgery Verification (GSV) Program provides a structured, practical pathway to advancing care for patients aged 65 and older.

How GSV Can Help Your Hospital

  1. The GSV Program has been designed to help hospitals comply with the CMS Age Friendly Hospital Measure, a structural measure required for hospitals participating in the Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting (IQR) Program. 
  2. The GSV Program gives your hospital the tools you need to demonstrate compliance with six clearly defined GSV standards.
  3. Case studies show the GSV Program improves patient outcomes, reduces costs, and increases surgical capacity (i.e., revenue).
