@INDTrauma
7.Indiana’s Trauma System
Need to evaluate the entire trauma system – continuum of trauma patient care
7
@INDTrauma
8.Definitions
Trauma: Severe injury or injuries requiring rapid evaluation and transport to specific hospitals with trauma care capabilities.
“Worst of the worst”.
Trauma system: Organized approach to treating patients with acute injuries.
Trauma registry: Repository of data on patients who receive hospital care for certain types of injuries.
8
9.What is Injury?
Injuries are NOT accidents!
Accident: An unexpected occurrence, happening by chance
Injury: A definable, correctable event, with specific risks for occurrence
Injuries affect all regardless of age, race, or economic status

11.U.S. Trauma Facts
For every trauma death in the United States:
Approximately 10 people are hospitalized and transferred to specialized medical care.
178 people are treated and released from hospital emergency departments.
Problems posed by injury are most acute in our rural areas:
60% of all trauma deaths occur in areas of the United States where only 25% of the population lives.

12.Injuries in Indiana
Leading cause of death among persons age 1-44 years.
Unintentional injuries leading cause of Years of Potential Life Lost.
Fifth leading cause of death overall, contributes to nearly 7% of all deaths in Indiana.
Nearly 32,000 hospitalizations for all injuries in 2013.

13.Trauma Lessons Learned
When trauma patients are transported, by ground or air, to trauma centers:
The preventable death rate DROPS by up to 25%.
There are significant reductions of chronic disabilities and overall community care costs.

of trauma-center care on mortality. N Engl J Med 2006; 354:366-378.

@INDTrauma
14.Trauma Lessons Learned
Oregon’s trauma system, for example has:
Reduced mortality by more than 25%.
Reduced morbidity by more than 40%.
Reduced health care costs.
Another study showed that the costs of trauma in states with integrated trauma systems dropped 9%.

18.The most seriously injured patients should go to a trauma center no matter how long it takes to get them there.

@INDTrauma
19.Triage & Transport Rule
The most seriously injured patients should go to a trauma center no matter how long it takes to get them there.
EMS Commission’s rule offers two qualifications to this:
If the patient’s life is in danger.
If the nearest trauma center is more than 45 minutes away.
Competent patients always have the right to decide where to be taken.

Suicide
Homicide
Undetermined Intent
Unintentional Firearm Death
Legal Intervention
Terrorism
31

Indiana’s Journey - 2015
34
@INDTrauma
35.Overdose intervention drugs
SEA406—“Naloxone bill”
Allows for broader distribution of Naloxone (which reverses the effects of opioid overdoses).
Can be prescribed directly to someone at-risk of opioid overdose or to their family/friends or by standing order and be immune from civil liability.
Dispensing of Naloxone must be registered with the state trauma registry.
ISDH is developing a protocol for registration.
@INDTrauma
35
