Analysis: VHA’s NSQIP Program VHA’s NSQIP Program The VHA’s approach to the NSQIP program was to determine, through measurement strategies, the potential for complications and outcomes of the multitudes of surgical programs in their system. Risk adjusted outcomes were used to monitor and improve surgical components for their VA patients. They included information and data from 87,078 surgical cases related to 30-day mortality and morbidity rate outcomes. Comparative studies between all of their surgical sites were conducted resulting in benchmark standards using “risk adjusted models that were developed for general, vascular, orthopedic, urological, thoracic, cardiac and other surgery specialties.

A Pott's fracture can occur due to an awkward landing from a jump, fall, or following a direct blow to the lower leg or ankle. An individual may suffer from a Colles’ fracture if he or she falls with their hands outstretched.
