The MBSAQIP program is designed to help both bariatric centres and their patients. For centres, accreditation offers several benefits:
Centres 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.
Accreditation by MBSAQIP demonstrates a centre's commitment to offering the highest-calibre care. Patients looking for a place to have surgery are more likely to choose a centre with this recognition.
Accredited centres 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.
