Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Surgical Quality Improvement
  • Healthcare Policy

Background:

  • The Institute of Medicine defined six domains of quality health care in 2001.
  • The Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2010 shifted healthcare reimbursement from volume to value-based care.
  • Defining and measuring healthcare value, especially in surgical services, remains a challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To advocate for surgical specialists and professional organizations to define the value and quality of surgical services.
  • To highlight the need for robust infrastructure to support quality verification programs.
  • To introduce the American College of Surgeons (ACS) as a key partner in establishing such programs.

Main Methods:

  • Outlining the rationale for establishing surgical quality verification programs.
  • Detailing the process for creating and maintaining these programs.
  • Using the ACS/Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) Vascular Verification Program as a case study.

Main Results:

  • ACS verification programs are founded on evidence-based guidelines, infrastructure development, outcome data collection, and expert site visits.
  • Collaboration with ACS provides the necessary infrastructure and expertise for quality verification.
  • The ACS/SVS Vascular Verification Program exemplifies a successful model for quality assurance in surgical services.

Conclusions:

  • Surgical specialists and professional organizations must lead the definition of surgical quality and value.
  • The American College of Surgeons (ACS) possesses the infrastructure and experience to facilitate quality verification programs.
  • Established verification programs, like the ACS/SVS Vascular Verification Program, are essential for ensuring and improving surgical care quality.
