State Trauma and Emergency Medical System

ACS Trauma Consultation Report

Posted: Tuesday, June 15, 2010 3:26 PM

Enclosed you will find a copy of the final report of the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma Systems Consultation Team following their visit to West Virginia in December, 2009. In the beginning of this report there is a summary of major points by the consulting team. I have also taken the liberty of writing for you the following summary points having reviewed the report multiple times.

Going forward there will be a need to construct a five and a ten year plan for the West Virginia State Trauma System as a part of the West Virginia State Trauma & Emergency Medical System. This will require a considerable amount of work on the part of all stakeholders involved. It is hoped that this ongoing effort will indeed provide a foundation for ongoing performance improvement and continued quality care of the trauma patients and citizens of West Virginia.
