Background: After decades of experience supporting surgical quality and safety by the American College of Surgeons (ACS), the ACS Quality Verification Program (ACS QVP) was developed to help hospitals improve surgical quality and safety. This review is the final installment of a 3-part review aimed to synthesize evidence supporting the main principles of the ACS QVP.
Study Design: Evidence was systematically reviewed for 3 principles: standardized team-based care across 5 phases of surgical care, disease-based management, and external regulatory review.
Unlabelled: To characterize nonrespondents to a national survey about trainee well-being, examine response patterns to questions of sensitive nature, and assess how nonresponse biases prevalence estimates of mistreatment and well-being.
Background: Surgical trainees are at risk for burnout and mistreatment, which are discernible only by self-report. Therefore, prevalence estimates may be biased by nonresponse.
Objective: To evaluate local hospital success with enhanced recovery implementation as measured by colorectal surgery process measure (PM) compliance and characterize local environment factors associated with success within a contemporary quality improvement collaborative.
Summary Background Data: Enhanced recovery programs (ERP) have proven an effective perioperative quality improvement strategy, but local variation in implementation can hinder patient outcome improvement.
Methods: Individual hospitals participating in a national colorectal ERP quality improvement program were evaluated with quantitative (patient-level process and outcome) and qualitative (survey and structured interviews with hospital teams) data between 2017 and 2020.
