✦ Synopsis

of the trauma care system including ongoing funding for infrastructure, research, and evaluation of outcomes. ACEP strongly advocates adequate funding of trauma systems to ensure access to high quality care for all patients.

Emergency physicians play a central role in the access and treatment of injured patients, and the management and evaluation of trauma care systems. ACEP, in collaboration with others, should provide a leadership role and involve emergency physicians in system development and evaluation to assure patient care effectiveness and cost efficiency.
