New Abstractor Training

New abstractor training is offered to help familiarize the new Surgical Clinical Quality Reviewer (SCQR) with the MSQC program requirements and to assist in formulating a method for consistent and accurate data abstraction which ensures the collection of high-quality data. This data supports quality and process of care improvements and healthcare research of the surgical patient population at all participating hospitals.

All training is offered in a self-paced format which incorporates the MSQC variables and definitions, the sampling and follow up processes, and the introduction to quality improvement (QI) initiatives. The topics are introduced through online learning modules and applied by the students by completing case studies and utilizing the training environment of the web-based MSQC Workstation. The training requirements can begin at any time and can be completed in about 1 to 3 weeks, and must be completed prior to access to the SCQRs hospital Workstation.
