The ACS and SVS are pleased to present the program standards manuals for inpatient vascular surgical and interventional care. These standards detail elements of vascular surgical care and quality across nine domains, including:

  • Institutional commitment
  • Program scope and governance
  • Resources for facilities, equipment, services, and personnel
  • Clinical care
  • Data abstraction and analysis
  • Quality improvement
  • Education and research

As the fundamental basis for the Vascular Verification Program, this standards manual offers the structure and guidance necessary to advance the quality journey of centers providing all levels of vascular care in an inpatient setting.
