N.C. Trauma System

Trauma

North Carolina is developing an inclusive trauma system that is organized, multi-disciplinary and evidence-based in its approaches to providing quality care and improving measurable outcomes for all defined injured patients.

EMS, hospitals, other health systems and clinicians participate in defined roles with leadership, advocacy, injury prevention, education, clinical care, performance improvement and research resulting in integrated trauma care.
