Trauma Performance Improvement Program

An important role of a Trauma Center is to ensure that trauma patients continue to heal and recover. The Trauma Registry provides data that is used within the Performance Improvement Program to evaluate the care given. A team of trauma professionals meets regularly to review the quality of care and identify issues that affect patient care. Once these issues are identified, the team develops recommendations, which may include creating educational programs and treatment guidelines and protocols based on current trauma research and practice.
