The Michigan Trauma Quality Improvement Program (MTQIP) aims to measure and improve the quality of care for surgical patients across Michigan. Understanding our patients' recovery is essential to shaping the future of trauma care.
Who?
In partnership with MTQIP, your hospital welcomes patients to share your treatment and long-term recovery experience.
What?
We will ask you questions about your functional recovery after your injury, the economic impact on you and your family, and your pain levels and pain medication usage to understand your recovery experience.
Why?
Understanding your recovery journey after you leave the hospital will help guide healthcare providers in the future care for patients like you.
How?
A team member will reach out at key points in your recovery and ask you to complete a survey over the course of a year.Â

The Michigan Trauma Quality Improvement Program (MTQIP) helps hospitals in Michigan work together to make patient care better. MTQIP supports hospitals and doctors in improving treatment for patients with serious injuries like falls, car or motorcycle accidents, and gunshot wounds.
Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are ways to measure your experience with your health and treatment. These reports focus on what is most important to you and are based on your own feedback.
The information you give us will be shared with your hospital and the team taking care of you. Overall data will also be shared with other hospitals that are part of MTQIP. We will not share any data that could identify you with anyone else.
Just like your healthcare records, your information will be kept private and secure. Only the MTQIP team members at our coordinating center will have access to your personal information.
If you are eligible, the MTQIP Coordinating Center will get in touch with you. You can share how your healing is going by phone, text, or email at regular intervals.
