      abstract = {Managing a trauma center involves complex clinical care,  long nights and days, administrative work,  self-examination, critical review of patient care and  significant regulatory requirements. Performance  improvement is the key element of trauma center  effectiveness. No trauma center provides flawless care,  thus all centers have opportunities to improve. A competent  performance improvement program is critical to trauma  center outcomes. This book provides key information on all  aspects of trauma PI program management. In some ways, PI  is an art more than a science, so the more interaction  program leaders have with strong PI programs, the more they  can learn about how to improve their processes. The book  outlines the generally accepted processes for  identification of opportunities for improvement, which are  the key component of performance improvement. This  includes: rounding with care teams, contemporaneous chart  review, audit filters, and voluntary submissions to the  trauma program for review. This book explains how to triage  opportunities for improvement, analyze them, form  corrective actions, and finally achieve loop closure. The  book covers the roles of the personnel in the PI program,  what is required to dissect the opportunity to determine  action plans, how to document the entire process, and how  to keep track of opportunities for improvement to ensure  that your program is progressively improving care. The  final sections of the book deal with specific opportunities  for improvement, action plans, and loop closure through the  use of case studies. The book serves as a follow-up to Dr.  Jeffrey Young's recently published book Trauma Centers,  which serves as a quick guide to the key components of  trauma center administration, management, and patient  care.},
