Adult Cardiac Surgery Sites

Our Community of Participants

Collaborating Across All 33 Adult Cardiac Surgery Sites in Michigan

All 33 adult cardiac surgery sites across Michigan participate in the MSTCVS‑QC, working together to strengthen surgical quality, improve patient outcomes, and advance cardiac care statewide.

Through the transparent review of clinical data, along with open discussion of best practices and innovative approaches, participating sites foster continuous improvement, meaningful benchmarking, and the timely adoption of evidence‑based advances. This collaborative model ensures that progress made at any one hospital benefits patients across the state, raising the overall standard of excellence and safety in cardiac surgery.

All MSTCVS QC member sites participate in the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) Adult Cardiac Surgery Database and support its efforts toward transparency. With that foundation, we are providing these Composite Metric data. To learn more about composite metrics and the role of public reporting in cardiac surgery outcomes, please visit STS.org below.

About STS Composite Scores

CABG Overall Composite Score is calculated using a combination of 11 quality measures divided into four categories or domains. The Overall Composite Score represents the four domain scores in a single number.

1.

Absence of Operative Mortality (the percentage of patients [risk-adjusted] who did not experience operative mortality).

2.

Absence of Major Morbidity (the percentage of patients [risk-adjusted] who did not experience any major morbidity).

3.

Use of Internal Mammary Artery (the percentage of first-time CABG patients who received at least one IMA graft).

4.

Receipt of Required Perioperative Medications (the percentage of patients who were prescribed all four medications believed to improve a patient’s immediate and long-term outcomes).

AVR Overall Composite Score represents two domain scores in a single number:

1.

Absence of Operative Mortality (the percentage of patients [risk-adjusted] who did not experience operative mortality).

2.

Absence of Major Morbidity (the percentage of patients [risk-adjusted] who did not experience any major morbidity).

AVR+CABG Overall Composite Score represents two domain scores in a single number:

1.

Absence of Operative Mortality (the percentage of patients [risk-adjusted] who did not experience operative mortality).

2.

Absence of Major Morbidity (the percentage of patients [risk-adjusted] who did not experience any major morbidity).
