The AACS Online Database: A Project to Advance the Specialty of Cosmetic Surgery

摘要

The mission of the Academy is to advance the specialty of cosmetic surgery and improve the quality of patient care. To this end, we have an opportunity to use our online technology to provide a lot of important data that has largely been ignored. We should develop the database tools and encourage all of our members to enroll in an ongoing database of all of the procedures they perform, along with the outcomes, including patient satisfaction, complications, and results. By the time this editorial goes to print, I am hopeful that we would have made significant strides to see this idea come to fruition.
