What is the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP)?
The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) is a standardized, risk-adjusted, outcomes-based program designed to measure and improve the quality of surgical care. Originating from the Veterans Health Administration, NSQIP has expanded to include many civilian hospitals. The program collects clinical, rather than administrative, data to provide a more accurate picture of patient outcomes and surgical quality.
