Excellence in Surgery

Third-party recognition and accreditations play a crucial role in recognizing excellence, driving quality improvement, instilling patient confidence, benchmarking industry standards, attracting talent, and facilitating effective marketing and public relations. They contribute to the overall advancement and positive development of the healthcare sector.

These acknowledgements allow us to not only benchmark our performance against others but ensure that we are providing the best care to our neighbors in the Northern Virginia and Washington, DC, metro community.

Quality Verification Program (QVP)

The ACS QVP verification is the highest level of commitment a hospital can make to ensure that all patients receive optimal surgical care. It addresses all surgical specialties in the hospital and provides a proven strategy for achieving high quality surgical care and outcomes. QVP-verified hospitals undergo a rigorous evaluation process where providers across all departments and at every level demonstrate a coordinated effort to leverage data-driven care to attain high quality outcomes.

Offered at: all five Inova hospitals, which are Focused verified

Children’s Surgery Verification (CSV)

The CSV program ensures that every verified hospital meets needs of pediatric patients. This specialized care provides improved outcomes, improved safety protocols, and a standardized quality of care across the many crucial facets of children’s surgery. The Children’s programs are seen nationwide as having improved the quality and outcomes in children undergoing surgery.

This allows hospitals to track their performance with the most accurate data available, compare with other leading hospitals, and achieve the highest quality of care for children undergoing surgical operations.

National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP)

NSQIP is the first nationally validated, outcomes-based program to measure and improve the quality of surgical care.

Hospitals participating in this program have been shown to reduce preventable surgical problems to achieve higher quality.

Trauma Verification, Review, and Consultation (VRC)

The ACS Trauma Verification program sets the standard for the care of injured patients in trauma centers. These standards ensure that the center has the right expertise and is immediately prepared to provide the highest quality of emergency trauma care. These standards are so rigorous that many states use them to designate trauma centers in their region and ACS-verified trauma centers have lower patient mortality rates than non-verified centers.
