\"\"<\/a>VENTURA COUNTY<\/strong> \u2014\u00a0The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP\u00ae) has recognized Ventura County Medical Center as one of 83 ACS NSQIP participating hospitals that have achieved meritorious outcomes for surgical patient care in 2017. As a participant in ACS NSQIP, Ventura County Medical Center is required to track the outcomes of inpatient and outpatient surgical procedures and collect data that assesses patient safety and can be used to direct improvement in the quality of surgical care.<\/p>\n

The ACS NSQIP recognition program commends a select group of hospitals for achieving a meritorious composite score in either an \u201cAll Cases\u201d category or a category which includes only \u201cHigh Risk\u201d cases. Risk-adjusted data from the July 2018 ACS NSQIP Semiannual Report, which presents data from the 2017 calendar year, were used to determine which hospitals demonstrated meritorious outcomes. Ventura County Medical Center has been recognized on the \u201cAll Cases\u201d Meritorious list.<\/p>\n

Each composite score was determined through a different weighted formula combining eight outcomes. The outcome performances related to patient management were in the following eight clinical areas: mortality, unplanned intubation, ventilator > 48 hours, renal failure, cardiac incidents (cardiac arrest and myocardial infarction); respiratory (pneumonia); SSI (surgical site infections-superficial and deep incisional and organ-space SSIs); or urinary tract infection.<\/p>\n

The 83 commended hospitals achieved the distinction based on their outstanding composite quality score across the eight areas listed above. Seventy-one hospitals were recognized on the \u201cAll Cases\u201d list and 71 hospitals were recognized on the \u201cHigh Risk\u201d list; the 71 hospitals represent ten percent of the 708 ACS NSQIP participating hospitals for calendar-year 2017. Fifty-eight hospitals were recognized on both the \u201cAll Cases\u201d and \u201cHigh Risk\u201d lists; 12 other hospitals were on just the \u201cAll Cases\u201d list, and 13 other hospitals were on the \u201cHigh Risk\u201d\u00a0list, and 13 other hospitals were on the \u201cHigh Risk\u201d list only \u2013 yielding 83 hospitals in total.<\/p>\n

ACS NSQIP is the only nationally validated quality improvement program that measures and enhances the care of surgical patients. This program measures the actual surgical results 30 days postoperatively as well as risk adjusts patient characteristics to compensate for differences among patient populations and acuity levels. The goal of ACS NSQIP is to reduce surgical morbidity (infection or illness related to a surgical procedure) and surgical mortality (death related to a surgical procedure) and to provide a firm foundation for surgeons to apply what is known as the \u201cbest scientific evidence\u201d to the practice of surgery. Furthermore, when adverse effects from surgical procedures are reduced and\/or eliminated, a reduction in health care costs follows. ACS NSQIP is a major program of the American College of Surgeons and is currently used in nearly 850 adult and pediatric hospitals.<\/p>\n

The American College of Surgeons is a scientific and educational organization of surgeons that was founded in 1913 to raise the standards of surgical practice and to improve the care of the surgical patient. The College is dedicated to the ethical and competent practice of surgery. Its achievements have significantly influenced the course of scientific surgery in America and have established it as an important advocate for all surgical patients. The College has more than advocated for all surgical patients. The College has more than 80,000 members and it is the largest organization of surgeons in the world<\/p>\n

El Centro Medico del Condado de Ventura recibe reconocimiento nacional del Instituto Estadounidense de Cirujanos por resultados meritorios<\/h3>\n

CONDADO DE VENTURA<\/strong> – – \u00a0El Programa Nacional de Mejora de la Calidad de Cirug\u00edas del Instituto Estadounidense de Cirujanos (el ACS NSQIP\u00ae por sus siglas en ingl\u00e9s) ha reconocido al Centro Medico del Condado de Ventura como uno de los 83 hospitales participando en el programa que ha logrado resultados meritorios para la atenci\u00f3n quir\u00fargica del paciente en el 2017. Como participante en el ACS NSQIP, se requiere al Centro Medico del Condado de Ventura mantener un registro de los resultados de los procedimientos quir\u00fargicos para pacientes hospitalizados y ambulatorios, recopilar datos que eval\u00faen la seguridad del paciente, y as\u00ed puedan utilizarse los datos para mejorar la calidad de la atenci\u00f3n quir\u00fargica.<\/p>\n

El programa del ACS NSQIP reconoce la labor de un grupo selecto de hospitales por lograr un puntaje compuesto meritorio en una categor\u00eda de \u201cTodos los casos\u201d o en una categor\u00eda que solo incluye los casos de \u201cAlto riesgo.\u201d Los datos ajustados al riesgo del Informe Semestral del ACS NSQIP del julio de 2018, que presenta datos del a\u00f1o 2017, se utilizaron para determinar cuales hospitales demostraron resultados meritorios. Se reconoci\u00f3 al Centro Medico del Condado de Ventura en la lista meritoria de \u201cTodos los casos.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cada puntaje compuesto se determin\u00f3 mediante una f\u00f3rmula ponderada diferente que combina ocho resultados. Los resultados relacionados con el manejo del paciente se encontraron en las siguientes ocho \u00e1reas cl\u00ednicas: mortalidad, intubaci\u00f3n no planificada, ventilador de m\u00e1s de 48 horas, insuficiencia renal, incidentes card\u00edacos (paro card\u00edaco e infarto de miocardio); respiratorio (neumon\u00eda); infecciones en el sitio quir\u00fargico: de incisi\u00f3n del espacio de los \u00f3rganos y de incisi\u00f3n profunda); o infecci\u00f3n de las v\u00edas urinarias.<\/p>\n

Los 83 hospitales seleccionados lograron la distinci\u00f3n en funci\u00f3n de su sobresaliente calificaci\u00f3n de calidad compuesta en las ocho \u00e1reas enumeradas anteriormente. Fueron reconocidos 71 hospitales en la lista de “Todos los casos” y se reconocieron 71 hospitales en la lista de “Alto\u00a0riesgo”; los 71 hospitales representan el diez por ciento de los 708 hospitales miembros del ACS NSQIP del a\u00f1o calendario del 2017. Se reconocieron a 58 hospitales, tanto en la lista de “Todos los casos” como en “Alto riesgo”; otros 12 hospitales aparecieron solo en la lista de “Todos los casos” y unos otros 13 hospitales en la lista de “Alto riesgo”, lo que hizo un total de 83 hospitales.<\/p>\n

El ACS NSQIP es el \u00fanico programa de mejora de la calidad validado a nivel nacional que eval\u00faa y mejora la atenci\u00f3n a los pacientes operados. Este programa eval\u00faa los resultados quir\u00fargicos actuales 30 d\u00edas despu\u00e9s de la operaci\u00f3n, tanto como ajusta el tratamiento al paciente tomando en cuenta sus caracter\u00edsticas para compensar las diferencias entre las poblaciones de pacientes y los niveles de agudeza. El objetivo del ACS NSQIP es reducir la morbilidad quir\u00fargica (infecci\u00f3n o enfermedad relacionada con un procedimiento quir\u00fargico) y la mortalidad quir\u00fargica (muerte relacionada con un procedimiento quir\u00fargico), proporcionando una base firme para que los cirujanos apliquen lo que se conoce como “mejor evidencia cient\u00edfica” a la pr\u00e1ctica de la cirug\u00eda.<\/p>\n

Adem\u00e1s, cuando los efectos adversos de los procedimientos quir\u00fargicos se reducen y \/ o se eliminan, sigue una reducci\u00f3n en los costos de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica. El ACS NSQIP es un programa importante del Instituto Estadounidense de Cirujanos y se usa actualmente en casi 850 hospitales para adultos y pedi\u00e1tricos.<\/p>\n

El Instituto Estadounidense de Cirujanos es una organizaci\u00f3n cient\u00edfica y educativa de cirujanos que se fund\u00f3 en el 1913 para aumentar los est\u00e1ndares de la practica cirujana y mejorar el cuidado de pacientes operados. El instituto se dedica a la pr\u00e1ctica \u00e9tica y competente de las cirug\u00edas. Sus logros han cambiado el curso de la cirug\u00eda cient\u00edfica en los Estados Unidos y se les establecieron como un defensor importante para todos los pacientes quir\u00fargicos. El instituto tiene m\u00e1s que 80,000 miembros y es la organizaci\u00f3n m\u00e1s grande de cirujanos en el mundo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
