CSV Consultation Visit

The CSV Consultation Visit is designed to assist hospitals in evaluating their readiness to apply for verification. A consultation visit will provide:

  • A gap analysis in compliance with the Optimal Resources for Children’s Surgical Care standards.
  • Aid the facility in attaining verification. 

What Sites Need to Know

  • Each site will self-identify areas they would like to focus on, which are based on site-identified deficiencies. 
  • The Pre-Review Questionnaire (PRQ), site visit agenda, and site reviewer team will be customized to address the needs of the site.
  • Following the visit, a report will be provided to help your institution close gaps and provide strategies for achieving verification.
  • More information, including areas of focus, sample site visit agenda, and process overview, can be found in the Consultation Visit Manual. 

Want to begin your consultation process? Visit the ACS Quality Portal (QPort) and provide details on the Site Visit Request tab.

The CSV leadership and the ACS children’s surgery team are available to discuss any questions about the consultation visit. Please reach out to us at childrenssurgery@facs.org with your questions.
