The SCIP initiative targets complications that account for a significant portion of preventable morbidity as well as cost. One of the goals of the SCIP guidelines was a 25% reduction in the incidence of surgical site infections from implementation through 2010.
Are SCIP measures still used?
SCIP measures have been added and subtracted since the creation of the project. As the Joint Commission has implemented Oryx Performance Measures, all of the SCIP measures were retired by December 31, 2015.
What does SCIP mean in healthcare?
The Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP), one of the Joint Commission Core Measures of hospital quality, was started as part of an ongoing Quality Initiative project run by a national partnership between the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
