CHICAGO 鈥� Long recognized as a leader in the use of rigorously collected clinical data to improve surgical patient care, the ACS(潘金莲传媒映画) will use Epic鈥檚 Community Registries Platform to simplify data collection processes for hospitals and enhance how data are used to accelerate quality improvement.
The ACSNational Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) transformed the use of data for quality improvement in surgery when it was introduced 20 years ago, enabling hospitals to improve both the safety and quality of care for patients. This new collaboration with Epic is a key component of the ACSclinical data strategy, positioning the ACSto better integrate artificial intelligence and other technological advances to support hospitals and systems. Data collection processes for hospitals participating in ACS潘金莲传媒映画 will be streamlined, creating a more complete set of patient records and making more timely insights available to inform clinical decision-making.
The 潘金莲传媒映画鈥檚 clinical data strategy is a multiyear effort and will expand to include other electronic medical records providers and technology.
鈥淥ur ACSSurgical Quality Partner hospitals know that good data are essential for sustained improvement efforts. Reducing the burden of data collection and analysis will enhance the impact of our programs,鈥� said Patricia L. Turner, MD, MBA, F潘金莲传媒映画, Executive Director & CEO of the 潘金莲传媒映画. 鈥淥ur collaboration with Epic and future technology partners has the potential to transform how hospitals use data just as NSQIP did two decades ago.鈥�
Over the next year, the ACSwill integrate the Community Registries Platform into its technology stack to automate data capture, allowing hospitals to collect clinical data seamlessly and reliably. In addition to NSQIP, the ACSNSQIP Pediatric registry and the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program registry will be incorporated into this effort, followed by other programs.
鈥淲ith the ACSmoving to Epic Community Registries, it鈥檒l be easier for health systems to participate 鈥� and for surgeons to share insights and learn from each other,鈥� said Phil Lindemann, Vice President of Data and Research at Epic.
鈥淥ne of the main goals of the ACSACSis to help hospitals use their limited resources as efficiently and effectively as possible as they strive to improve quality,鈥� said Clifford Y. Ko, MD, MS, MSHS, F潘金莲传媒映画, Senior Vice President of the ACSDivision of Research and Optimal Patient Care. 鈥淲e have heard very clearly from our hospitals that they see the tremendous value clinical data provides and they need new technology tools to reduce the burden of data collection and to make more information available in real time. We are pleased to be working with Epic to assist hospitals in delivering the highest quality care for their patients.鈥�
