The Surgical Care and Outcomes Assessment Program (SCOAP) is a surgeon-led quality improvement (QI) initiative developed in Washington State to track and reduce variability in surgical care. It has developed into a collaboration of over two-thirds of the hospitals in the state, who share data and receive regular benchmarking reports. Data are abstracted at each site by trained abstractors. While there has some overlap with other national QI databases, the data captured by SCOAP has clinical nuances that make it pragmatic for studying surgical care. We review the unique properties of SCOAP and offer some examples of its novel applications.
外科护理与结果评估项目(SCOAP)是华盛顿州发起的一项由外科医生主导的质量改进(QI)倡议,旨在追踪并减少外科护理中的变异性。它已发展成为该州三分之二以上医院的合作项目,这些医院共享数据并定期接收基准报告。数据由经过培训的提取人员在每个站点进行提取。虽然SCOAP与其他国家QI数据库存在一些重叠,但SCOAP收集的数据具有临床细微差别,使其在研究外科护理方面具有实用性。我们回顾了SCOAP的独特属性,并提供了一些其新颖应用的示例。
