Abstract

Surgical site infections (SSI) are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in postoperative patients, occurring in approximately 1-3% of all inpatient surgical procedures and costing an additional $3.3 billion dollars annually in the United States. 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.
