    Abstract:
    Trauma programs that are verified by the American College of Surgeons are required to have a multidisciplinary committee that examines trauma-related patient care operations. To facilitate a potentially large number of issues relevant to patient care, the Trauma Performance Improvement and Patient Safety Committee can apply team principles to promote success. A literature review concerning effective teams was conducted. Eleven principles were identified as essential for developing an effective committee that can properly respond to and resolve performance issues in complex trauma care. This article describes and applies these 11 principles to the Trauma Performance Improvement and Patient Safety Committee.
