Surgical Quality Partner Store Opens

All hospitals in North America that participate in at least one of the 13 ACS Quality Programs have earned a distinction as an ACS Surgical Quality Partner, indicating that they are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards in surgical care.

To help promote this esteemed status, those hospitals now have access to a Surgical Quality Partner Store that includes plaques and complimentary digital marketing and communications materials. The ACS is offering one complimentary Surgical Quality Partner wall plaque for each institution; hospitals may purchase additional plaques to display.

The hospitals’ primary Quality Program contact should have received an email from the ACS providing a link to the store and further instructions on accessing the Surgical Quality Partner materials. Surgeons and other members of quality improvement teams are urged to reach out to that contact and make sure the email has been received and that the complimentary Surgical Quality Partner diamond has been ordered.  

Surgical Quality Partners are encouraged to share their status widely and display the Surgical Quality Partner Diamond in their hospital, on their websites, and in their marketing materials. Contact SQP@facs.org for more information.
