About this grant

A trauma system is an organized, inclusive approach to facilitating and coordinating a multidisciplinary system response to severely injured patients. Coordination across prehospital entities and hospitals signals an effective trauma system where patients get the care they need. The Trauma Care Readiness and Coordination Program supports ASPR's goal of strengthening state and local preparedness by funding efforts to improve coordination across EMS, pre-hospital providers, and hospitals. Recipients will test scalable models that improve trauma system readiness and patient access to care.
