Meetings
Each quarter the Collaborative hosts a meeting where members gather to receive updates on NSQIP, hear presentations from peers and guest lecturers, and share best practices. Participation in the Collaborative is open to all hospitals in the state of Connecticut.
We are proud to report that 100% of the hospitals in Connecticut are actively participating in quarterly CtSQC meetings. In addition, as of 06/01/2016, seventeen Connecticut hospitals are using the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database from the American College of Surgeons (NSQIP): Wm Backus Hospital, Bridgeport Hospital, Connecticut Children’s Hospital, Danbury Hospital, Hartford Hospital, Hospital of Central Connecticut, Lawrence + Memorial Hospital, Middlesex Hospital, Midstate Hospital, Norwalk Hospital, Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center, Saint Mary’s Hospital, Stamford Hospital, UCONN/John Dempsey Hospital, Windham Hospital, Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital and Yale New Haven Hospital.
The CtSQC is an open forum for Connecticut hospitals to learn about quality improvement and the best practices being developed and implemented by their peers. Utilization of the NSQIP tool is not a requirement to join the Collaborative or participate in meetings.
If you would like to learn more about the meetings please contact Christopher Tasik at quality@ctsqc.org.
