The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) was created by the American College of Surgeons (ACS) to help hospitals track and improve the quality of surgeries. Hospitals that participate in NSQIP gather data on how well their surgeries are going. They then use that information to make improvements that can reduce risks for patients and improve recovery.
Unlike some other programs that rely on insurance information, NSQIP collects data directly from patients’ medical records. This gives a more accurate and complete picture of how well surgeries are being performed. The goal is to help hospitals see exactly where improvements are needed and to provide the tools to make those changes.
Hospitals that participate in NSQIP see real improvements in the safety of their surgeries. By employing data to detect issues at an early stage, they can implement modifications that improve patient outcomes. Here’s why NSQIP matters:
Hospitals using NSQIP data can reduce the number of complications during and after surgery. In fact, 62% of hospitals in the program see fewer complications.
By improving surgical quality, 71% of hospitals also see a decrease in the number of deaths related to surgery.
On average, hospitals that participate in NSQIP prevent between 200 to 500 surgery-related complications every year. This means better recovery and outcomes for patients.
We work with small community hospitals, academic centers participating in ACS NSQIP Adult, Pediatric, or Trauma programs.
Yes, we manage sampling calendars and abstraction workflows based on ACS guidelines and case inclusion logic.
Yes, we support all targeted procedures and integrate custom fields upon request.
We maintain strict IRR standards, internal audits, and abstractor coaching for consistency across abstracted data sets.
Cardiac Registry Support is officially Clinical Registry Solutions, reflecting the incredible growth and evolution we’ve achieved together over the years.
Why This Change Matters
When we started as Cardiac Registry Support, we built our reputation on excellence in cardiovascular data management. But you’ve helped us become so much more. Today, we support over 25 different clinical registries across multiple specialties, maintain a 97.3% + Inter-Rater Reliability rate, and serve healthcare facilities across the United States and Canada. Our new name finally matches the comprehensive expertise we’ve developed as a team.
