The Society for Vascular Surgery’s Vascular Quality Initiative (SVS VQI) has once again awarded Stony Brook University Hospital three stars for its active participation in the Registry Participation Program for 2020.
The mission of the SVS VQI is to improve patient safety and the quality of vascular care delivery by providing web-based collection, aggregation and analysis of clinical data submitted in registry format for all patients undergoing specific vascular treatments. The SVS VQI operates 14 vascular registries.
Apostolos K. Tassiopoulos, MD, Chief of the Vascular and Endovascular Surgery Division, Interim Chair of the Department of Surgery at Stony Brook University Hospital and Director of the Stony Brook Vascular Center, said that over the past decade Stony Brook has successfully utilized SVS VQI data to improve patient care in the hospital.
