Trauma Quality Improvement Program
Edit

The Trauma Quality Improvement Program (TQIP) was initiated in 2008 by the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma. Its aim is to provide risk-adjusted data for the purpose of reducing variability in adult trauma outcomes and offering best practice guidelines to improve trauma care. TQIP makes use of national data to allows hospitals to objectively evaluate their trauma centers’ performance relative to other hospitals. TQIP’s administrative costs are less than those of other programs, making it an accessible tool for assessing performance and enhancing quality of trauma care.
