National Surgical Quality Improvement Program

NSQIP was selected from a variety of measurement options due to of its cross-specialty focus, strong data collection platform and ability to risk-adjust for comparison. It is being used at 24 hospitals across BC to monitor patient outcomes for 30 days after surgery.

Participating hospitals contribute data, receive reports and undertake improvement efforts and, to support their efforts, we developed a surgical improvement strategy that includes: building networks of point-of-care teams and surgeon champions to lead improvement; clinically-focused initiatives to reduce adverse outcomes and complications; and improving culture, teamwork, and communication in the surgical environment.
