Submit Your Abstracts for ACS TQIP Annual Conference

The call for abstracts for the 2026 ACS Trauma Quality Improvement Program (TQIP) Annual Conference is now open. The event takes place November 13–15 in Anaheim, California.

This is your chance to share with other TQIP centers all the interesting initiatives you have put in place at your hospital. The ACS wants to know what internal performance improvement (PI) efforts you have undertaken and how you have been using TQIP in your center.

Sessions for 2026 will focus on the conference theme, “Collaboration: Better Together,” which will highlight the essential role of connection and shared effort in advancing trauma care.

In addition to the Oral & Abstract Poster Presentation category, TQIP Academy and VRC (Verification, Review, and Consultation) Academy sessions are returning this year. The TQIP Academy session will feature presentations from TQIP centers that identified issues using their TQIP benchmark reports and implemented PI projects to address them, while the VRC Academy session will feature presentations from ACS-verified trauma centers that addressed noncompliant standards identified during their site visit.

Determinations will be made based on subject matter, strength of PI process including loop closure, and the use and strength of data. Those who had posters and presentations last year are encouraged to resubmit with additional outcome data or loop closure.

The deadline to submit abstracts is May 31.
