What is the Purpose of the MBSAQIP® Registry?
The MBSAQIP Registry is a collaboration between the American College of Surgeons and the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) to serve as a national accreditation standard for facilities providing bariatric surgery services. According to the American College of Surgeons, “MBSAQIP works to advance safe, high-quality care for bariatric surgical patients through the accreditation of bariatric surgical centers.” Similar to ACS NSQIP, the MBSAQIP Program will enable participating hospitals to collect highly reliable clinical data and compare their surgical outcomes with the outcomes of other participants in the program.” Achieving accreditation ensures that bariatric facilities are providing all of the resources needed to care for the bariatric patient population including physical resources as well as human resources and ensures that standards of practice are being followed. Reporting outcomes data through MBSAQIP is a requirement for accreditation.
The ACS MBSAQIP program allows participating facilities to collect data on surgical outcomes specific to bariatric surgery and act on that data as a commitment to improving surgical care for their bariatric patient population. Bariatric patient populations are followed long-term and health data is assessed and reported at 30 days, 6 months, and annually thereafter.
