Defining, Tracking, and Delivering Excellence in Surgical Care

About Us

Welcome to the website of the Surgical Care and Outcomes Assessment Program (SCOAP)!

SCOAP is:

  • A model of collaboration in which Washington State's surgical community, in partnership with key stakeholders, can work together toward a common goal—improving patient care and health outcomes.
  • Healthcare professionals defining quality metrics, tracking hospital performance, and reducing errors and variability in surgical care.
  • A voluntary program for hospitals to discover widespread opportunities for quality improvement and cost savings for common surgical procedures performed across the state.
  • Helping surgeons and nurses deliver the highest quality of service by collecting information about the care patients receive and benchmarking it against standards.
