SCIP tip sheet seeks to involve patients.
SCIP's main goal is to reduce by 25% the incidence of the most common preventable surgical complications. Making the patient a partner in his or her care adds another means of ensuring proper procedures are being followed. Most common preventable surgical complications are infection, blood clots, and adverse cardiac and respiratory events.
