Surgical Quality & Patient Safety
The Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP) is a national partnership aimed at improving the quality and safety of surgical care by reducing post-operative complications. Originally developed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the SCIP partnership is a multi-year national campaign to substantially reduce surgical mortality and morbidity.
