Many interventions and tools have been developed and validated to reduce SSI burden. This quality improvement (QI) project aims to implement a validated SSI risk calculator from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) as a screening tool to identify high-risk patients on a colorectal/abdominal inpatient surgical service.}, number = {ETD}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.6083/jd472x248}, recid = {10123}, address = {2023}, }
