Is your trauma center prepared to meet the new ACS trauma standards? 

With these updated requirements set to take effect in September 2023, hospitals have a matter of months to prepare for complying with the new standards. Our newest guide examines a selection of the updated ACS trauma requirements—specifically standards 4.31 through 4.34, which center on requirements pertaining to staffing levels, certification, and continuing education for trauma registry staff. Meeting these updated requirements might prove especially challenging due to the strain they may place on trauma program budgets and limited staff time. 

In addition to outlining new changes in these standards and their implications for trauma centers, this 

guide discusses how trauma program leaders can ensure their trauma center meets these requirements without the burden of hiring and training additional staff. 

This white paper is for:

  • Trauma registrars seeking to understand new gray book standards going into effect in this year.
  • Trauma center staff looking for information on new parameters and solutions for the new challenges.
  • Trauma program leaders who wish to ensure their center meets these requirements without the burden of hiring and training additional staff.
