Breast Reconstruction Pilot Webinar 10.25.24

The ACS National Surgical Quality Improvement Program® (ACS NSQIP®)  Breast Reconstruction Pilot aims to enable a comprehensive evaluation and facilitate further granularity when assessing breast reconstruction procedures. By capturing detailed data on patient demographics, clinical characteristics, procedure details, surgical outcomes, and follow-up data, the pilot program seeks to enhance our understanding of breast reconstruction procedures. Ultimately, the pilot program aims to optimize patient outcomes and satisfaction by fostering evidence-based practice and continuous quality improvement in breast reconstruction procedures.

During the initial pilot webinar we will examine and evaluate the data, further explain the main differences between MSFN and Flap Failure, review commonly asked questions and learn about patient education opportunities with this population.
