American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program® (ACS NSQIP®)

A growing movement aims to tie reimbursements to outcomes—and publicly report the results. At the same time, hospitals face staffing shortages and financial pressures, trying to do more with less. Discover what hundreds of hospitals across America already know. A surgical quality improvement program so effective that each year a hospital uses it, on average, it has the opportunity to:
- Prevent 250–500 complications
