How does ACS NSQIP address disparities in cancer care?
ACS NSQIP’s risk-adjusted data allows for the identification of disparities in surgical outcomes among different patient populations. By highlighting these disparities, healthcare providers can develop targeted interventions to ensure equitable care. For instance, if data shows that a specific demographic has higher complication rates, efforts can be made to understand and address the underlying causes, such as access to care or socioeconomic factors.
