The American College of Surgeons (ACS) announced its goal to enlist at least one thousand hospitals into the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP®). The commitment is part of the ACS Inspiring Quality initiative , an effort to raise awareness of proven models of quality improvement, coordinated care and disease management that can help improve the quality and value of health care.
The announcement was made in conjunction with the Chicago Surgical Health Care Quality Forum, an event aimed at raising awareness of quality issues and discussing quality improvement programs needed in our nation’s hospitals to reduce preventable hospital readmissions, prevent medical errors, improve patient outcomes and reduce costs. Nearly 50 Chicago health care leaders attended the event which was held at ACS’s downtown headquarters.
