Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP)

A Partnership for Better Surgical CareThe Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP) partnership is a multi-year national campaign, which began in August 2005 to substantially reduce surgical mortality and morbidity through collaborative efforts. The goal is to reduce nationally the incidence of surgical complications by 25% by the year 2010. The SCIP is a national partnership of organizations committed to improving the safety of surgical care through the reduction of postoperative complications. Initiated in 2003 by CMS and the CDC, the SCIP partnership is coordinated through a steering committee of 10 national organizations. More than 20 organizations provide expertise to the steering committee through a technical expert panel. The project's steering committee is composed of members from the following national organizations:

Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality

American College of Surgeons

American Hospital Association

American Society of Anesthesiologists

Association of Perioperative Registered Nurses

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
