Annual Call for Data Instructions

The Annual Call for Data will begin April 3 and end June 1, 2023. During this Call, we will collect Admission Year 2022 Data. We are excited to continue providing our Annual Call for Data participants with access to our enhanced data validation tools available on the Trauma Quality Programs (TQP) Data Center after data is submitted.

Participants must complete all of the Annual Call for Data enrollment steps before they gain access to the Data Center. The fee schedule is as follows:

  • $500 for state designated Level III, IV, V or unverified centers
  • $1,100 for state designated Level I or Level II centers

Important: ACS Trauma recently launched a new portal called the ACS Quality Portal (QPort) which replaces the TQP Account Center. If you participated in the Annual Call for Data last year, you already have access to QPort. 

To enroll in the 2023 Annual Call for Data, please follow the appropriate steps below depending on if you are a previous or new participant:

  1. Submit an application.
    • Previous participants: Go to the TQP Participant Hub and click on the QPort button. Your login credentials have not changed. If you have forgotten your username and password, please click here. Once logged in, click the “Program Enrollment” section. For *Desired Program Participation, select “Annual Call for Data” from the drop-down menu and click ‘Submit.’
    • New participants: Submit an online application by clicking ‘Join a Program’ located on the TQP Participant Hub. If you need assistance, please refer to the Apply for an ACS Trauma Quality Program as a New Site resource guide.
  2. Once your application has been approved by ACS staff, log on to QPort and complete your Site Profile.
  3. Sign the HIPAA BAA/DUA, if not previously completed. To request a copy of the College-wide HIPAA Business Associate Agreement-Data Use Agreement (BAA/DUA), please         email traumaquality@facs.org
  4. Pay the Annual Call for Data invoice.

After all the steps listed above are complete, you will be granted access to the TQP Data Center and will be able to submit 2022 data. For information on how to submit data or navigate the Data Center, please review the Data Center Resources section on­ the TQP Participant Hub.

The NTDB Benchmark Report Tool for the 2022 Admission Year Data will be made available on the Data Center to participating facilities in Summer 2023.
