Trauma Quality Improvement.

Trauma centers and a third-party payer within Michigan built a regional collaborative quality initiative. Hallmarks of the collaborative are standardized data collection, annual data validation visits, face-to-face collaborative meetings, and dedication to performance improvement. The Michigan Trauma Quality Improvement Program has shown measurable improvement in patient outcomes, resource use, and compliance with processes of care.
