Establishing a standardized and comprehensive framework for defining surgical quality is essential for meaningful performance measurement and process improvement efforts. The goal of this chapter is to provide a conceptual framework for defining surgical quality based on the perspectives of relevant stakeholders, and to identify infrastructure and care processes necessary for the delivery of high-quality surgical care. Central to this framework are the complementary approaches for quality assessment as outlined by the Institute of Medicine and Donabedian paradigms, and how these should be used together to develop a robust and granular taxonomy of quality constructs relevant to all surgical conditions. The utility of balancing and composite measures for quality assessment is also reviewed, as are practical considerations for identifying and prioritizing process improvement opportunities based on procedure volume and perioperative risk.
