Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP) Testimonials
“After reviewing our surgical data and how we compared to other hospitals, it was apparent SCIP
was a great catalyst for identifying successes and opportunities for improvement. As part of our
cultural change, it sparked the interest of our surgeons by taking more ownership and being more
involved in developing new processes. Looking ahead, SCIP will enable us to connect to all levels
of patient care – SCIP encompasses the big picture of quality care.”

“The SCIP project provided us with timely tools to expand benchmarking and compare our
organization's surgical rates with other facilities in the state. As a result, we noted that we were
performing even better in some areas than we anticipated. We continue to share results and
discoveries like these with our employees through PI Work Groups and hospital committees. We
are eager to see how SCIP will dovetail with the IHI 100k Lives Campaign in further improving
patient safety."

"Resources from the SCIP project were very helpful to our Six Sigma surgical wound infection
project. The expert literature helped our medical and caregiving staffs to agree on critical elements
and prioritize what was important for our patients. We are much more prepared for and attuned
with data collection and reporting components in the 8th Scope of Work as a result of the SCIP
support of our Six Sigma project."

“Catholic Healthcare Partners greatly appreciates the efforts of all the hospitals who have
participated on the SCIP project and we're very pleased with the results so far with our surgical

successes. We are looking forward to future collaborations as we try to continually advance
quality improvements for our patients.”
