All Tennessee Hospital Association members may participate at the tier that best fits their needs. See the website for tier details.
ACS NSQIP staff support hospitals throughout enrollment by providing:
- Hiring guidance and a job description for the Surgical Clinical Reviewer.
- Reviewer training and ongoing support.
- Additional information on the ACS NSQIP website.
Participating hospitals agree to collect comprehensive data, use ACS NSQIP and Tennessee Hospital Association reports in quality improvement efforts, and participate in quarterly collaborative meetings and improvement activities. Tier 1 also requires active involvement from physicians and hospital staff.
THA staff will contact your site to schedule an orientation covering TSQC’s history, mission, vision, current projects, and next steps.
No. Reports identify only your hospital; other hospitals remain anonymous. TSQC may use de-identified, aggregate Tennessee data for project evaluation, and authorized staff may access hospital-level data for quality improvement and analysis as permitted by the data agreement.
TSQC hosts collaborative meetings, supports peer learning, analyzes data, and provides TSQC-specific reports.
