Tennessee Surgical Quality Collaborative
The Tennessee Surgical Quality Collaborative (TSQC) is a project of 22 Tennessee hospitals seeking to measure and improve the care of surgical patients throughout the state.
The TSQC is a collaboration between the Tennessee Chapter of the American College of Surgeons, the Tennessee Hospital Association’s Center for Patient Safety and participating hospitals. The TSQC was established in 2008 and was initially funded through a generous grant from Blue Cross Blue Shield’s Tennessee Health Foundation and is now funded by the Tennessee Hospital Association’s Board of Directors. This funding significantly reduces barriers for Tennessee surgeons and hospitals wishing to participate in – and benefit from- the program.
