Abstract

Prevention has been a recent focus not only in primary care but also in surgery as well, and appropriately there have been state and nationwide movements to reduce patients’ overall risks when receiving an elective surgery. The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) is an outcomes-based program to measure and improve the quality of surgical care in the private sector. The NSQIP database focuses on post operative risks such as deep venous thrombosis, surgical site infection, adverse cardiac events, post-operative pneumonia, and several more.
