The Alberta Children's Hospital Trauma Checklist was developed by the ACH Resuscitation Council Trauma Committee in response to a quality assurance review of high-acuity trauma activations. It is a cognitive aid and focuses in particular on pre-arrival preparation and a pre-departure review prior to patient transfer to diagnostic imaging or the operating room.
