The new program’s standards to improve surgical care for children are the nation’s first and only multispecialty standards of their kind
CHICAGO (January 31, 2017): Hospitals interested in enrolling in the American College of Surgeons (ACS) Children’s Surgery Verification (CSV) Quality Improvement Program may now file a Pre-Application online for participation in the program. ACS, in collaboration with the Task Force for Children’s Surgical Care, developed standards to improve surgical care for children who are surgical patients, which led to the development of this program. The standards are supported by the American Pediatric Surgical Association, the Society of Pediatric Anesthesia, and the American Academy of Pediatrics.
