What is the Purpose of the Pediatric NSQIP® Registry?
The Pediatric NSQIP Registry is a collaboration between the American College of Surgeons and the American Pediatric Surgical Association (APSA) specifically for specialties in children’s surgery. According to the American College of Surgeons, “Similar to ACS NSQIP, the Pediatric 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.” The Pediatric NSQIP program was pilot tested in September 2008 in four children’s hospitals and then beta tested in 40 additional sites. It is the nation’s first and only risk-adjusted, clinical, outcomes-based program to measure and improve pediatric surgical care.
Participation in ACS NSQIP Pediatric is available to general acute care children’s hospitals, children’s hospitals within larger systems, specialty children’s hospitals and general hospitals with pediatric services.
The ACS NSQIP Pediatric program allows participating facilities to collect data on surgical outcomes specific to children’s surgery and act on that data as a commitment to improve surgical care for their pediatric population. As per ACS, participation in the program demonstrates commitment to quality improvement, as it is the first national database to measure outcomes in children’s surgery.
