Abstract

This article reviews the philosophy and principles of the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) that the founders of the program had in mind when they developed the program; explains how the philosophy and principles led to the design and statistical methods that were chosen for the program; and reviews recently proposed changes to the program and potential problems that these changes may create.
