Regional Trauma System
STRAC is responsible to develop, implement, and maintain the regional trauma and emergency healthcare system plan for TSA-P.
Through collaboration and consensus-driven practices, STRAC and its members determine methods for, and requirements governing, efficient and expedient inter-facility transfers most appropriate for the patient’s needs for trauma care and/or rehabilitative services. This organized approach to facilitating and coordinating a multidisciplinary response to severely injured patients is the focus of Injury Prevention Committee, Trauma Coordinators Committee, and System Process Improvement Committees.
