Join the American Trauma Society for a Trauma Program & Registry Webinar!
June 18, 2026 | 1:00 – 2:00 pm ET
This webinar will provide trauma program leaders with practical, evidence-based strategies to effectively advocate for trauma registry staffing, education, and technology resources within their organizations. Led by three nationally recognized trauma program management experts, the session will explore how trauma registries support ACS compliance, performance improvement, data integrity, and broader organizational goals.
Participants will gain tools to clearly communicate registry workload, operational complexity, and resource needs to hospital leadership while building stronger support for sustainable trauma program infrastructure.
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
• Define the strategic role of the trauma registry within the trauma program and health system
• Describe the workload, operational demands, and complexity of trauma registry operations
• Identify ACS staffing expectations and potential compliance risks related to insufficient resources
• Apply a structured framework to justify registry staffing, training, and technology needs to organizational leadership
