The coronavirus pandemic forced regulatory agencies to develop innovative methods for achieving regulatory compliance. The accrediting body for trauma centers in Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania Trauma Systems Foundation (PTSF), was one of the many agencies forced to find creative and safe ways to maintain prepandemic processes of evaluating trauma centers for compliance with trauma standards. With the uncertainty of government and hospital regulations prohibiting on-site participation and precautionary efforts to protect the health and well-being of survey participants, a virtual site visit survey process was developed to facilitate trauma center accreditation within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
