Trauma Programs
Getting Started with Level I and II TQIP
- Check with your trauma registry vendor to confirm that you have fully implemented the current version of the ACS National Trauma Data Standard Data Dictionary.
- Discuss Trauma Quality Improvement Program (TQIP) participation with your registry vendor to be sure your registry is ready for TQIP participation.
- Submit a completed ACS TQP Application.
- Ensure your hospital has signed a Business Associate and Data Use Agreement (BA/DUA) with the American College of Surgeons. If your center currently submits to NTDB you should already have an updated BA/DUA on file.
- Execute a TQIP Hospital Participation Agreement (this will be sent after you have submitted a completed application).
- Pay the annual TQIP Participation fee. For more details regarding TQIP pricing, please log in to QPort.
- Visit the TQIP website for more information about program deliverables and expectations.
