Review article
Clinicians should prioritize robust data infrastructure for vascular QI; leaves open optimal metrics and validation in prospective studies.
In this article, we will review the role of data in quality improvement (QI), the type and sources of data commonly used in QI, how to select and track measures for QI, and some of the challenges and potential solutions in the availability and use of data for QI in vascular surgery.
