Introduced by: Jane H. Woods | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Statewide prehospital and interhospital trauma triage plan. Requires the Board of Health to develop and maintain a statewide prehospital and interhospital Trauma Triage Plan as a component of the Statewide Emergency Medical Services Plan to provide rapid access to appropriate trauma care for pediatric and adult trauma patients. The criteria for prehospital and interhospital triage and transport will be revised by the Emergency Medical Services Advisory Board to incorporate accepted changes in medical practice or to respond to needs indicated by analyses of data on patient outcomes. The criteria will be used as guides and resources for health care providers and are not intended to establish, in and of themselves, standards of care or to abrogate the requirements of the standard of care established in the Medical Malpractice Act.
