Emergency/Trauma Care and Stroke

Print

There are significant gaps in our trauma and emergency health care delivery systems, and trauma is the leading killer of Americans under the age of 44. The AANS and CNS have worked tirelessly to urge Congress to provide the full funding for trauma and emergency care regionalization programs, which will support grants to states to improve critically needed state‐wide trauma care systems and pilot projects to develop models for regionalizing emergency care. As recommended by the National Academy of Medicine (formerly the Institute of Medicine) in its groundbreaking 2006 report, "the objective of regionalization is to improve patient outcomes by directing patients to facilities with optimal capabilities of any given type of illness or injury."
