An initiative by midlevel providers to conduct tertiary surveys at a level I trauma center.

Introduction: Increased patient volume and residents' work hour restrictions have escalated the workload at trauma centers. Because tertiary surveys (TSs) are integral to care, midlevel providers (MLPs) can help streamline this time-consuming process. In this study, we implemented a care plan in which MLPs conduct all TSs, initiate appropriate consultations, and offload residents' work hours.
