On May 18, 2015, leaders at three hospital systems — Dartmouth–Hitchcock Medical Center, the Johns Hopkins Hospital and Health System, and the University of Michigan Health System — publicly announced a “Take the Volume Pledge” campaign to prevent certain surgical procedures from being performed by their surgeons who perform relatively few of them or at their hospitals where relatively few such procedures are performed. The Pledge, promoted by long-time advocates of quality improvement such as John Birkmeyer and Peter Pronovost, challenges other large health systems to join them in restricting the performance of 10 surgical procedures — including gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and joint-replacement surgeries — to hospitals and surgeons who perform more than a minimum number. The annual volume thresholds range from 10 per hospital and 5 per surgeon for carotid stenting to 50 per hospital and 25 per surgeon for hip and knee replacement.
