Bureau of Emergency Medical Services and Trauma System
Trauma and EMS Performance Improvement (TEPI) Standing Committee
 

The Trauma and EMS Performance Improvement (TEPI) Standing Committee is formed to assist the Statutory Councils (State Trauma Advisory Board, Emergency Medical Services Council and Medical Direction Commission) and the Bureau in carrying out the duties described in statute and rule relating to quality improvement of the State's EMS and trauma system. This is accomplished by aiding the Bureau's Data and Quality Assurance Program in the development of guidelines, reports, and recommendations to the Statutory Councils. Importantly, TEPI's review of provider level data is limited to routine system performance indicator analysis and cannot be used for regulatory purposes.

The membership list and link to their bylaws are listed below.
