A hospital executive’s guide to practical trauma center oversight

For hospitals, earning a trauma center designation can lead to higher quality care, better community reputation and stronger financial performance.

One key to realizing the benefits of a trauma designation is effective clinical leadership. However, another success factor is just as critical — strong executive oversight.

When executive leaders do not provide adequate oversight of the trauma service line, the organizational benefits of a trauma center designation fail to materialize. Many neglected trauma programs become financially unsustainable, and some hospitals are forced to close their trauma center, leading to a loss of reputation in the community.
