Abstract

As the number of metabolic and bariatric procedures being performed annually has increased significantly over the last decade, there is an important need for developing and maintaining metabolic and bariatric surgery centers with rigorous organizational and operational standards to ensure patients receive safe care. This chapter will describe the essential components of a successful, comprehensive metabolic and bariatric center based on the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP). We will also briefly describe some tips to prepare for an MBSAQIP site survey and outline the most common deficiencies encountered during site surveys.
