Trauma Team – Quality First!

Ronald Robertson, M.D.

Congratulations and profound thanks are in order for Dr. Ron Robertson, Professor and Chief of the Division of Trauma, Critical Care and Acute Care Surgery, and the entire UAMS Trauma Team. The team recently received Total Quality Improvement Program (TQIP) data that places UAMS in the top 10-20% of all Level 1 trauma centers in the country. We are in the top 1% for positive data relating to ventilator-associated pneumonia. Dr. Robertson and his colleagues are exceptionally focused on quality improvement and ensuring the very best trauma care for Arkansans – and this latest data proves it. Very well done!
