| The Trauma Information
Exchange Program (TIEP) was established in the fall of 2000 with funding
from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC/ National Center for Injury Prevention and Control NCIPC. To assure a strong foundation
for the new program, the American Trauma Society negotiated an agreement
with the Johns
Hopkins Center for Injury Research and Policy to collaborate on
the development of TIEP and provide ongoing program support.
TIEP’s mission is to foster the exchange and use of information
to improve trauma care.
To fulfill its mission, TIEP has defined four areas of activity:
- National inventory of trauma centers and trauma systems
- Information exchange network of trauma care institutions
- Trauma and trauma system surveillance
- Dissemination and promotion
Current activities in these areas are described under Projects.
