This week is a milestone week for PTSF. Yesterday TraumaHQ powered by IQVIA was launched in every trauma center in Pennsylvania taking Pennsylvania's trauma system into a new era with advanced data collection and analytic capabilities for capturing trauma data and performance improvement activities. We couldn't have done it without the intense multi-year efforts of so many people including the PTSF Staff, our trauma centers, PTSF Board, and our new partner IQVIA who worked tirelessly with us to create a multimodule trauma software product that will be available for purchase nationally. Pictured is the PTSF staff on GO LIVE day yesterday. Also pictured is the trauma program staff at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital - Jefferson Health who had special t-shirts made to show their enthusiasm. We couldn't be more excited!

The data is used as part of the accreditation process and is available for use by researchers.
