Safety and Quality Improvement Protocol
The Smile Train’s #1 priority is to insure the safety of the patient.
All of The Smile Train’s treatment partnerships are required to
follow The Smile Train’s Quality Improvement Protocol, which lays
out the basic elements needed to insure safe surgeries and to provide
for the ongoing review and improvement of the quality of care.
The Protocol has been developed by The Smile Train to maintain
high safety standards, quality improvement and quality control of
all Smile Train surgeries. This protocol provides a basic level
of assurance that the results of the surgeries it sponsors are adequate.
Second, in keeping with its educational mission, The Smile Train
will use information from this sample of reviewed surgeries to target
effectively its educational and training activities.
