Three stars - Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI)
The Society for Vascular Surgery’s Vascular Quality Initiative (SVS VQI) has awarded Salem Health Vascular Surgery three stars for its active participation in the Registry Participation Program.
Operating under the Society for Vascular Surgery, the Vascular Quality Initiative is composed of 14 registries containing demographic, clinical, procedural and outcomes data from more than 1,000,000 vascular procedures performed nationwide and in Canada. The mission of the SVS VQI is to improve patient safety and the quality of vascular care delivery by providing web-based collection, aggregation and analysis of clinical data submitted in registry format for all patients undergoing specific vascular treatments.
Salem Health first received the honor in 2024 and again in 2025. This achievement highlights our commitment to improving patient lives through rigorous standards and practices.
