Metabolic And Bariatric Surgery Accreditation And Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP) Standard Six Defines The Criteria For Data Collection
“High-quality data is critical to inform quality improvement and to determine accreditation. All metabolic and bariatric surgical procedures must be entered into the MBSAQIP Data Registry Platform…Metabolic and Bariatric Surgical Clinical Reviewers (MBSCRs) are audited, trained data reviewers who are not directly involved in patient care.”
— MBSAQIP Resources for Optimal Patient Care of the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Patient 2014
