In 2023, the Perioperative Quality Improvement Programme (PQIP) is launching new postoperative morbidity variable life adjusted display charts (pomVLAD) for all sites recruiting patients undergoing colorectal surgery. Having previously been run as a pilot study in 10 hospitals, the quality-improvement dashboard has been refined and will now provide all sites with near-real time, risk-adjusted morbidity monitoring accompanied by the display of a number of key enhanced-recovery quality-improvement (QI) targets.
For sites recruiting patients of other surgical specialties, there is also a newly developed QI dashboard which does not incorporate risk-adjustment. Dr James Bedford explains how they can be used to stimulate QI initiatives in your local hospital.
