The Power of Quality

Bringing our Quality Programs to Every Community

Providing high-quality care is at the heart of everything we do as surgeons, and it has been the cornerstone of the ACS since our founding in 1913. Today, it’s more important than ever that we accelerate conversations about surgical quality as we emerge from the pandemic and confront the strains it has put on our healthcare system, superimposed on existing burdens placed on us as physicians.

ACS Surgical Quality Partners

ACS Surgical Quality Partner hospitals adhere to the most rigorous standards in surgical quality. An ACS Surgical Quality Partner designation demonstrates a commitment to maintaining, evaluating, and improving surgical quality standards for patients.

ACS Quality Programs

ACS Quality Programs are the definitive measure of a hospital’s surgical quality. Grounded in a century of experience, our programs have measurably improved quality of care, prevented complications, reduced costs—and saved lives.

• Breast Cancer
• Cancer
• Children’s Surgery
• Emergency General Surgery
• Geriatric Surgery
• Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery

Improving surgical care quality is crucial to ensuring better outcomes for patients. That’s why we’re working to bring ACS Quality Programs to every hospital and patient in America.
