Nuances, Documentation Challenges and Easily Missed Details in the ACS Trauma Standards – Trauma System News
Thanks to the Grey Book, trauma center standards from the American College of Surgeons are more straightforward and user-friendly than ever. However, trauma program leaders still struggle with requirements that can be difficult to interpret — and for many standards, the right way to demonstrate compliance is unclear.
This webinar with trauma center management expert Angie Chisolm takes a close look at several dozen ACS trauma standards that can be hard to decode. Based on the compliance issues she has seen in trauma centers across the country, Angie helps trauma program leaders understand what the standards are asking for, demonstrate compliance and prepare effectively for their ACS site visit.
