The Essential Guide to Creating, Maintaining and Using a Trauma PI Dashboard

The single most important tool of an effective trauma performance improvement program is a well-designed PI dashboard.

Unfortunately, newer PI coordinators and trauma program managers are often uncertain about how to create and configure a functional dashboard. Even many experienced trauma leaders have questions about how to maintain their dashboard and use it effectively to impact patient outcomes.

This new webinar will explain everything that trauma teams need to know about creating a PI dashboard, ensuring dashboard data quality, weaving their dashboard into team workflows, and using it to drive strong results in performance improvement and patient safety.

During this one-hour session, trauma center leadership expert Angie Chisolm will go over the basic steps of using Excel to create a versatile dashboard for trauma PI. She will also show how exactly to use your dashboard to track key performance metrics, hospital events and standards compliance.

In addition, trauma data expert Missy Sorensen will explain how to manage the background work that is key to maintaining a high-quality dashboard. The emphasis is on establishing collaborative workflows that leverage the strengths of both registry and PI professionals.

Attendees will learn how to:

• Create a PI dashboard using an Excel spreadsheet with conditional formatting
• Use the dashboard to identify priority issues and plan PI initiatives
• Establish processes that ensure the underlying quality of dashboard data
• Address weaknesses in new registry systems that can undercut dashboard quality
• Use the dashboard process to optimize TQIP data submissions and patient outcomes
