Orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons and other clinicians<\/span><\/span> engage in the process of\u00a0selecting evidence-based QI metrics for monitoring \u2013 aligned to emerging\u00a0national metrics when available \u2013 as well as a set of “common sense” metrics and\u00a0those with emerging evidence. Spine COAP has created a\u00a0community of surgeons acting on performance\u00a0data through education, peer-benchmarking effects, and evidence based interventions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Spine COAP is a Washington State-approved Coordinated Quality Improvement Program (CQIP<\/a>). This status provides exemption from disclosure of information and documents specifically created and collected for, and maintained by, an approved program.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle” overlay_dotted=”” css=”.vc_custom_1562181740390{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 10px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/www.qualityhealth.org\/spinecoap\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2019\/01\/scoap-patiens@2x.jpg?id=221) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}” el_class=”home-pages-middle-box-content”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ offset=”vc_hidden-xs”][vc_empty_space height=”480px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1562182657342{padding-right: 4vw !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;padding-left: 4vw !important;}” offset=”vc_col-xs-12″ el_class=”home-text-block .patients”][vc_column_text]Transparency<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Transparency is critical across the healthcare spectrum. It touches everything from how physicians practice medicine, to how information is shared with patients, to how hospitals gather and report outcomes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Transparency provides clarity to physicians, promotes trust among patients and leads to long-term improvements in outcomes.<\/span><\/p>\n
