Office of Surgical Quality
The Office of Surgical Quality (OSQ) was established in 2016 to coordinate and enhance the quality improvement efforts within the Department of Surgery (DoS). The OSQ established the Calgary Zone Surgical Quality Council (CZSQC) to address these goals.
The CZSQC meets monthly and comprises members from all National Surgical Quality Improvement Programs (NSQIP), Surgeon Champions, Anesthetist Champions, Surgical Clinical Reviewers, Department of Surgery, Department of Anesthesiology, AHS Analytics, Surgical Strategic Clinical Network, Calgary Zone Quality Council, Sectional Surgeon QI Leads, Executive Directors, Quality Improvement Consultants, and AHS OR Leadership.
