Trauma Systems

Trauma systems refer to organized networks of emergency medical services, hospitals, and trauma care resources designed to provide optimal care for patients with severe injuries. These systems ensure that trauma victims receive timely and appropriate treatment, from the accident site to specialized trauma centers. They involve coordination among paramedics, emergency rooms, surgeons, and rehabilitation services to improve survival rates and recovery outcomes. By streamlining processes and utilizing specialized skills, trauma systems aim to deliver the right care at the right time, ultimately minimizing long-term impacts on patients affected by traumatic events.
