ACS COVID Registry - American College of Surgeons
The American College of Surgeons (ACS) has developed the ACS COVID-19 Registry, which is now available to all hospitals seeking to capture meaningful data about the COVID-19 patients they treat. The overarching priority of this registry is to collect important clinical patient data for a disease about which little is known. This registry will collect data on COVID-19 patients who did not undergo surgery as well as COVID-19 patients who did.
