Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP)

Bariatric surgery is about more than weight loss — it’s about long-term health and safety. At CRS, we help hospitals meet MBSAQIP standards with accurate tracking and follow-up.

Critical Benefits of MBSAQIP Accreditation

  • Better Patient Outcomes: Centers accredited by MBSAQIP have better patient outcomes. This means patients are more likely to lose weight successfully and have fewer complications after surgery.
  • Expert Review: During the accreditation process, experienced surgeons review the center’s work. They provide feedback and make suggestions to help the center improve.
  • Consistency in Care: Accredited centers follow strict guidelines to make sure patients get the same high-quality care no matter where they go. This helps reduce problems and ensures that patients are treated with the best methods available.
  • Recognition by Insurance Companies: Many insurance companies recognize MBSAQIP accreditation as a sign of quality. This can make it easier for patients to get coverage for their surgery.

How MBSAQIP Helps Bariatric Centers and Patients

The MBSAQIP program is designed to help both bariatric centers and their patients. For centers, accreditation offers several benefits:

Improved Care Quality

Centers can improve the quality of care they provide by following the guidelines set by MBSAQIP. This leads to better patient outcomes, such as more successful weight loss and fewer complications.

Greater Reputation

Accreditation by MBSAQIP demonstrates a center's commitment to offering the highest-caliber care. Patients looking for a place to have surgery are more likely to choose a center with this recognition.

Helpful Resources

Accredited centers have access to resources and support from the American College of Surgeons, which helps them stay current on the latest research and best practices in bariatric surgery.
