A real-time rapid cycle process improvement tool for accelerated quality improvement in coronary artery bypass grafting surgery

Our custom-designed QI tool enabled rapid improvement of our CABG outcomes (<i>P</i> < .0001). This report is unique because it uses the publicly available STS risk calculator for real-time rapid cycle process improvement, integrated into a comprehensive QI program.
