The American College of Surgeons (ACS) has launched a new podcast episode of its Recovery Room Show featuring a discussion of the new ACS National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP®) Surgical Risk Calculator. In the podcast, host Frederick L. Greene, MD, FACS, a surgical oncologist from Charlotte, NC, and a member of the Commission on Cancer, interviews two surgeons, Clifford Y. Ko, MD, FACS, and Karl Bilimoria, MD, FACS, who developed the risk calculator. The guest surgeons share their thoughts on the ability of the surgical risk calculator to create an important dialogue between surgeons and patients about surgical risks and the how the tool may be used to deliver individualized patient care.
