ForwardCancer Surgery Standards Program Synoptic Operative Reporting Templates
The American College of Surgeons Cancer Surgery Standards Program (CSSP) has developed synoptic operative reporting templates (SORs) for the documentation of breast and colon cancer and melanoma surgery. Viewing the CSSP templates will help institutions determine how they want to implement synoptic operative reports at their site to achieve compliance with the CoC Operative Standards. These SORs cannot be copied, distributed, posted, displayed, published, modified, or embedded in or used as part of a technology or software solutions without ACS prior approval. ACS authorizes individual physicians and healthcare providers to use the SORs (1) for the purpose of reporting and documenting surgical procedures, and (2) to assist in training, education, and teaching in the surgical setting. For full Terms of Use, please see the first page of each SOR. Permission and copyright acknowledgement will be required for any facility that uses the CSSP material to build their own electronic synoptic operative reporting tools.

Disclosure Information
In accordance with the ACCME Accreditation Criteria, the American College of Surgeons must ensure that anyone in a position to control the content of the educational activity (planners and speakers/authors/discussants/moderators) has disclosed all financial relationships with any commercial interest (termed by the ACCME as “ineligible companies”, defined below) held in the last 24 months (see below for definitions). Please note that first authors were required to collect and submit disclosure information on behalf all other authors/contributors, if applicable.
Ineligible company
The ACCME defines an “ineligible company” as any entity producing, marketing, re-selling, or distributing health care goods or services used on or consumed by patients. Providers of clinical services directly to patients are NOT included in this definition.
Financial Relationships
Relationships in which the individual benefits by receiving a salary, royalty, intellectual property rights, consulting fee, honoraria, ownership interest (e.g., stocks, stock options or other ownership interest, excluding diversified mutual funds), or other financial benefit. Financial benefits are usually associated with roles such as employment, management position, independent contractor (including contracted research), consulting, speaking and teaching, membership on advisory committees or review panels, board membership, and other activities from which remuneration is received, or expected. ACCME considers relationships of the person involved in the CME activity to include financial relationships of a spouse or partner.
Conflict of Interest
Circumstances create a conflict of interest when an individual has an opportunity to affect CME content about products or services of an ineligible company with which he/she has a financial relationship.
The ACCME also requires that ACS manage any reported conflict and eliminate the potential for bias during the educational activity. Any conflicts noted below have been managed to our satisfaction. The disclosure information is intended to identify any commercial relationships and allow learners to form their own judgments. However, if you perceive a bias during the educational activity, please report it on the evaluation.
