The Trauma Program Coordinator is a professional Registered Nurse who works collaboratively with the Trauma Medical Director (TMD) to assume the responsibility and accountability for the oversight of the hospital's trauma program and assuring the standards of care are met through the trauma care continuum. They assess, plan, implement and evaluate trauma care standards provided at the facility and work to incorporate evidence-based practices. Responsibilities include trauma performance improvement, coordination of trauma care, and assistance in maintaining the hospital as a designated trauma center. The coordinator plays an active role in the development, implementation and evaluation of the trauma program and is responsible for the organization of services and systems necessary to provide a multidisciplinary approach to care of the trauma patient. The Trauma Program Coordinator works closely with the hospital medical staff, administration, department managers, ancillary services, referral agencies, and nursing personnel to nurture and sustain a professional practice environment through effective leadership, relationship building, and communication in alignment with Aspirus' core values.
