Performance Improvement Resources
As the statewide resource and experts in trauma Performance Improvement (PI), the PTSF works to advance trauma PI efforts throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. We oversee efforts throughout the state involving the implementation and evaluation of a data-driven trauma PI program. We also support hospitals in optimizing their trauma PI programs and provide valuable performance improvement education.
We do this not just because it is our directive, but because it is also our passion.
To provide you more readily with valuable information pertaining to Performance Improvement, we have compiled a list of resources for you to check out.
