A major goal of trauma care systems and trauma treatment providers is to provide care that is efficacious, safe, and cost-effective. With the continuous focus on trauma care quality and related outcomes, trauma care providers and organizations, at all levels, including state and regional systems must develop processes to evaluate care effectiveness. This course will provide concrete, real-world information for trauma program managers and medical directors, state and regional trauma system managers, and trauma center surveyors on applying tried and true methods of performance improvement to real life case scenarios. It's going to be a stimulating and thought provoking session where you can not only learn from others, but also share your experiences and wisdom. New this year, we will offer participants the opportunity to bring or submit difficult cases for expert panel review in a safe and completely confidential setting. Please inquire about this new opportunity, and plan to come and be a part of the action. CME's and Nursing CEU's will be available upon request.
