Trauma Systems Programs

Improve Care, Reduce Preventable Death

Our Trauma Systems Programs aim to improve care for the injured patient in four ways. One, by assessing and evaluating trauma and emergency response systems. Two, by providing consultative guidance for future trauma system development. Three, by building partnerships with the military to translate battlefield lessons to the home front and back again. And four, by creating and sustaining a national trauma system, with a research action plan.
