The Military Health System (MHS) Surgical Quality Consortium (SQC) Meeting is intended to support the ongoing development and member needs of the MHS SQC.

  • Overview of enterprise-wide surgical quality efforts
  • Developing a surgical quality program within a facility
  • Ongoing training in the use of NSQIP
  • Addressing surgical quality topics such as ambulatory, bariatric, and pediatric surgery
  • Addressing universal surgical quality topics, such as prevention of sentinel events
  • Developing a future direction for the SQC, including a possible MHS-wide quality project

Expected deliverables:

  • Functional sustainment of the SQC
  • Informing and supporting the development of MHS-wide surgical quality projects consistent with a quality collaborative
  • Expanding the network of surgical quality experts within the MHS and increasing shared knowledge through discussions of best practices
  • Continued assessment of the needs of the membership to inform future meetings
