Introducing the NQS Emergency General Surgery (EGS) Registry

NQS is excited to introduce the Emergency General Surgery (EGS) Registry—the only platform designed to unite EGS clinical data, performance improvement, and reporting and analytics into a single, cohesive solution.
Built for hospitals managing complex surgical populations while remaining simple and flexible, NQS delivers visibility into outcomes, variation, and opportunities for improvement.
Below is an overview of what the NQS EGS Registry is and why it was built.
Why EGS Programs Need a Dedicated Registry
As emergency general surgery programs grow, the need for better, faster clinical insights increases.
To achieve those EGS insights, programs need clinical intelligence and the foundational components that make it possible. Trauma programs have led the way in defining this model over time, including:
- Registries to capture structured clinical data
- Performance improvement (PI) processes to capture and manage change
- Reporting and dashboards to surface insights
- Systems to review performance and benchmarks
But EGS is not trauma.
As EGS definitions, standards, and expectations continue to emerge, EGS programs need systems that provide similar rigor, while remaining nimble and flexible enough to adapt quickly as the field evolves.
What is the NQS EGS Registry?
The EGS Registry offers teams structured data, analytics, dashboards, and reporting designed specifically for EGS insights.
The NQS EGS Registry enables hospitals to move beyond retrospective review, providing actionable intelligence to improve quality, efficiency, and patient outcomes.
The NQS EGS Registry is designed to grow alongside the EGS field, providing a simple, flexible platform built to adapt to change and customization.
