Multicenter Pediatric Surgery Quality Collaborative (PSQC) NSQIP Pilot Study: Pediatric Colorectal Surgery Bundle Utilization

In brief

This multicenter study evaluates compliance with a standardized colon surgery care bundle checklist implemented across pediatric surgery centers through the NSQIP-P platform. The analysis examines overall bundle adherence and identifies which specific checklist items had higher or lower compliance rates to guide quality improvement efforts.

• PSQC launched a colon bundle checklist pilot in 2023 via NSQIP-P to standardize pediatric colorectal surgery quality measures across centers.
• Study evaluates multicenter compliance with bundle elements to identify which checklist items are consistently followed versus missed.
• Findings will inform which quality measures are feasible for widespread adoption in pediatric colorectal surgery practice.
