AB A  trauma  system  is  an  integrated  collaboration  of  agencies  and  institutions  organized  to  control  the  disease  of  injury.  Its  mission  extends  from  effective  prevention  and  public  education  to  efficient  societal  reintegration  of  injury  survivors.  At  the  system’s  core  is  coordinated  and  comprehensive  care  of  acutely  injured  patients  within  a  defined  geographic  area.1,2,3  Its  services  are  multidisciplinary,  comprehensive,  and  encompass  a  continuum  that  includes  all  phases  of  patient  need.2,3,4,5,6
