Getting Started with Level I & 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.
