National Surgical Quality Improvement Program The Portland Shriners Hospital recently joined the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP). ACS NSQIP has enabled hundreds of hospitals across the country to gauge the quality of their surgical programs with unrivaled precision and measurably improved surgical outcomes. Data collection begins preoperatively and continues through 30-days postoperatively on randomly assigned patients. Patient data is risk-adjusted and surgical case-mix adjusted, allowing surgical outcomes and complications rates to be nationally benchmarked. Antimicrobial Stewardship Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms. At the Portland Shriners Hospital, a multidisciplinary team reviews 100% of all antibiotic orders for appropriateness, including those used for surgical prophylaxis.
