A major step forward in our understanding of post-surgical harm. Congrats to @sudheervemuru for his presentation at the 2024 @AcademicSurgery Academic Surgical Congress in Washington D.C. on the development of a new model for identifying perioperative harm. This collaboration between IHQSE and @VizientInc created a novel method for finding, cataloguing and understanding the impact of post-operative harm. This work included IHQSE faculty @glasheenj and @SarahTevisMD as well as IHQSE graduate @Lauradleonard. The first step in reducing harm is being able to appropriately measure it! #quality #patientsafety #medicalharm #postoperativeharm #healthcare #surgery
