¨1 Trauma Registry is going forward. All the hospitals in the LSRTAC had participants attend the Trauma Registry training sessions held in Marshfield on 6/21/06 and Madison on 6/22/06. Trauma Registry will go "live" on 7/10/06. Registry will be retroactive to 7/1/06. Reports will be due to the State quarterly. Additional registry training needs are being researched by a group of trauma program managers.

¨2 Debi Peters has been named as Acting Trauma Registrar for the State.

¨3 Wisconsin Ambulance Run Data System (WARDS) is functional.

¨4 Medical Control can override the Triage and Transport Guidelines. The guidelines are intended to be used to assist in the proper patient management and transport of patients. These guidelines do not replace or reduce the responsibility of each facility and EMS provider to manage patients within the scope of practice of the services providing the transport.

¨5 The EMS Run Report is considered part of the medical record and needs to get to the receiving facility in a timely manner especially with the implementation of the State Trauma Registry. The administrative rules do not give a timeline. First Responders are not required to have a written report. Implementation of timelines and written reports for First Responders will likely occur in the future due to the increased skills they are now able to do.

¨6 Level III Trauma Care Facility physicians are required to take ATLS. Level IV TCFs may substitute either CALS or RTTDC for ATLS. To meet this requirement they must write a letter addressed to Dan Williams and sent to Marianne Peck requesting this waiver

¨7 RTACs may "close" their meetings for the Performance Improvement portion.

¨8 A list of site reviewers has been chosen. Marianne will confirm their appointment and willingness to serve on the Site Review Committee.

¨9 Required training for site reviewers is scheduled for Nov 3 & 4, 2006.

¨10 The Marketing Committee continues to work on trauma education and injury prevention education for the public. Contact Lynn Sears regarding any community Injury Prevention activities to include on the State Trauma Care Website www.wisconsintraumacare.org
