Why is the Vascular Verification Program Important for Your Institution?

The American College of Surgeons (ACS), in collaboration with the Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS), proudly presents the Vascular Verification Program—a national quality verification program designed to support the ongoing advancement and long-term sustainability of care for patients receiving vascular surgical and interventional services in the inpatient setting.
Since its inception, over a dozen centers nationwide have achieved verification, reflecting both the program’s rigorous standards and growing national momentum among leading institutions committed to sustained excellence in vascular care.
A Framework for Long-Term Excellence
Recognizing the complexity and breadth of vascular care, the program provides an enduring, evidence-driven framework that supports both the development and continuous maturation of quality improvement and clinical care infrastructure over time.
Designed for Programs at Every Stage
With two levels of participation, the Vascular Verification Program engages centers across the spectrum of care—offering a structured pathway to:
- Benchmark progress
- Demonstrate sustained commitment to excellence
- Continuously advance quality and performance
By supporting continuous improvement, the program helps ensure a lasting impact on patient outcomes and program performance.
