Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During medical emergencies, hospital staff and emergency medical services (EMS) providers, can face barriers in delivering the fastest and best possible care. Overcrowded emergency rooms cannot care for patients as quickly as necessary, and some may divert ambulances and turn away new patients outright. In many states, ambulance staff lacks the means to determine which hospitals can provide the best care to a patient. Given this absence of knowledge, they bring patients to the closest hospital. In addition, because emergency service providers from different companies compete with each other for patients, and emergency care legislation varies from state to state, it is difficult to establish the necessary local, interstate, and national communication and collaboration to create a more efficient system. In 2006, the IOM recommended that the federal government implement a regionalized emergency care system to improve cooperation and overcome these challenges. In a regionalized system, local hospitals and EMS providers would coordinate their efforts so that patients would be brought to hospitals based on the hospitals' capacity and expertise to best meet patients' needs. In September 2009, three years after making these recommendations, the IOM held a workshop sponsored by the federal Emergency Care Coordination Center to assess the nation's progress toward regionalizing emergency care. The workshop brought together policymakers and stakeholders, including nurses, EMS personnel, hospital administrators, and others involved in emergency care. Participants identified successes and shortcomings in previous regionalization efforts; examined the many factors involved in successfully implementing regionalization; and discussed future challenges to regionalizing emergency care. This document summarizes the workshop.

This book was released on 1999-01-04 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Injuries are the leading cause of death and disability among people under age 35 in the United States. Despite great strides in injury prevention over the decades, injuries result in 150,000 deaths, 2.6 million hospitalizations, and 36 million visits to the emergency room each year. Reducing the Burden of Injury describes the cost and magnitude of the injury problem in America and looks critically at the current response by the public and private sectors, including: Data and surveillance needs. Research priorities. Trauma care systems development. Infrastructure support, including training for injury professionals. Firearm safety. Coordination among federal agencies. The authors define the field of injury and establish boundaries for the field regarding intentional injuries. This book highlights the crosscutting nature of the injury field, identifies opportunities to leverage resources and expertise of the numerous parties involved, and discusses issues regarding leadership at the federal level.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Funding for Emergency Medical Services (EMS)/Trauma Systems is being brought to the forefront of debate as states struggle to reduce budgets and federal funding shrinks. All state EMS directors or health departments having responsibility over emergency and trauma program planning, were contacted during a telephone survey in September 1996 and asked seven questions designed to elicit specific funding limits, sources of those funds and current state positions and policies on funding EMS and trauma programs. Cumulatively, the states spent $14.5 million in fiscal year 1996 from federal government sources and $161.6 million in state monies to fund EMS and trauma. The national average for per capita expenditures on EMS and trauma is $0.57. There is no consistency in how states fund EMS and trauma programs. Most states fund both programs from one budget and few actually denote funds specially for trauma programs. The states that receive revenues from fines assessed on traffic violations and fees from motor vehicle registration have the best funding. These states consistently fund EMS/ Trauma systems above the national per capita average and have reduced or no dependence on federal funding. Seven states have very successful programs which are not dependent on federal funding and utilize monies generated by fines assessed on moving traffic violations. Texas should follow the lead of these states since current funding levels fail to provide adequate resources to operate a comprehensive statewide EMS/Trauma system.
