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. 000010123 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000010123 650__ $$aSurgical Wound Infection$$026671 000010123 650__ $$aInfections$$020790 000010123 6531_ $$asurgery 000010123 6531_ $$asurgical site infection 000010123 691__ $$aSchool of Nursing$$041370 000010123 7001_ $$aFung, Jamie H.$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000010123 8564_ $$9d66a52b7-4498-40d9-8c4e-e3a34e571a00$$s675083$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/10123/files/Fung.Jamie.2023.pdf 000010123 905__ $$a/rest/prod/jd/47/2x/24/jd472x248 000010123 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:10123$$pstudent-work 000010123 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
