Fairfax Hospital is a participant in the Americal College of Surgeon's National Surgery Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP). This program compiles outcome statistics from each member hospital. These are compared to the national average to help identify hospitals that need improvement and those that are succeeding in the goal of performing safer surgery.  The 2007 statistics for Colorectal Surgery at Fairfax Hospital demonstrated 30-day mortality and morbidity rates that were equal to the national average and Surgical Site Infection rates (see Bar Graph below) which were markedly lower than the national average. The Fairfax rate was described as exemplary in the report.
