History of Trauma System Development in California
David Hoyt, MD, FACSProfessor and Chairman Department of Surgery
University of California, IrvineOrange, California
18th & 19th Century Hospitals
All admissions needed approval Patients were refused
admission: Incurable
Cancer Epilepsy
Contagious Smallpox
Could not pay Paupers sent to ‘almshouse’
Not ‘worthy of admission’ Conditions of immorality
Prostitution/STDs Alcoholism Unwed mothers
Where Did Emergency Patients Go?
The Receiving Hospital A hospital that would ‘receive’ all emergency
patients Los Angeles City Receiving Hospital System
Received ‘ambulance cases’ Transferred to County General or other Hospitals
Early Hospital Emergency Care
‘Emergency Room’ or ‘Accident Room’ Cared for people who “had no place else
to go”
The Patients & Situations of 1908 Trauma
Pedestrian vs. Streetcar Traumatic arrest
Horses Bites, kicks “Horse fell on him”
Bar fights Knifes, bottles, fists
Automobiles? Minor cuts bruises
Industrial injures Cuts, crush, amputation Burns - nitrate movie film
The Patients & Situations of 1908 Social problems:
Child abuse “Hit by father with board”
Spouse abuse “Beaten by husband”
Suicide GSW head, chest Potassium permanganate
The Patients & Situations of 1908
Abortion “Refused to give

Alcohol H.B.D. H.B.D.V.M.
Opiates (morphine) Tx = Coffee (caffeine)
into gastric tube

Tx = Chloral Hydrate & Strychnine (stimulant)
Cardiac arrestTx = Adrenaline
Sexuality issues: Gonorrhea “suppression of
urine” “Injury to perineum”
“Slipped on apple” “How injured: masturbation”
“Treatment: Bedrest”
Early Hospital Emergency Care
Hospital ‘Emergency rooms’ staffed by: Doctors without a practice Doctors working ‘overtime’
Emergency Medicine - 1971
The Hoover Commission 1923 -Secretary of
Commerce Reviewed the mortality
crisis with the automobile 20,000 deaths/year
Results Sweeping recommendations
Roads, traffic safety, licensing No call for care systemsNo call for care systems
The Early Ambulance Experience
Earliest focus was on safe, comfortable trip Why Rush to the hospital?
No emergency treatment on arrival
No defibrillation or trauma surgery
1920s California Vehicle Code: “After a collision . . . transport
the injured in whichever vehicle still operates . . .”
Who Operated Most Ambulance Services?
Adopted by Funeral Services Had a vehicle that could transport a body
in a supine position Could gain goodwill in community
Local California Dispatch
1969 Automobile club study 70 different
‘ambulance phone numbers’ servicing a 26 mile section of San Diego freeway
California’s Original Minimum Ambulance Training Requirements
One crewman must have Red Cross Advanced first aid card
Other attendant (within 15 days of employment); Enrolled in basic first aid class Complete advanced first aid class within 90 days.
Ambulance Documentation & Billing Most documentation related to
costs/charges Taxi meters would assure accurate fees
Mass Casualty Incident - Pre-EMS
August 1, 1966 University of Texas
Austin Sniper - Charles
Whitman fired from top of 27 story clock tower 15 killed 31 wounded
Six funeral homes sent 13 ambulances
1980 Development of
California’s State EMS Leadership State law added
Division 2.5 of the Health & Safety Code
Established the Emergency Medical Services Authority
LEMSA Model Started
1983 Trauma Systems
added to the Health & Safety Code Allow, but not require,
development of local trauma care systems
System based upon a series of local, optional trauma care systems
1986
Trauma care regulations established California Code of Regulations, Title
22, Division 9, Chapter 7 Trauma Care Systems Promulgated to provide minimum
standards for local trauma systems & locally designated trauma centers

Missing Patients
1987 Assembly Office of Research described
California’s trauma care system: Medical & financial emergency, pointing to
financial losses experienced by trauma centers & a need to financially stabilize trauma care systems
Some hospitals (particularly in Los Angeles) dropped trauma center designation, citing financial losses.
1980’s-1990’s Closure or threatened closure of trauma
centers in several areas of the state resulted in media attention & policy initiatives to increase state subsidies or develop alternative funding sources
Physicians & hospitals indicated the root problem of emergency & trauma care issues was uncompensated care
1980’s-1990’s
Several legislative proposals to provide funding for trauma care surfaced – most failed
1987 The Legislature enacted Chapter 1240,
Statutes of 1987 Allowed counties to establish a Maddy
Emergency Medical Services Fund (Maddy Fund) Compensate health care providers
(hospitals and physicians) for emergency services for the uninsured & compensate medically indigent
Ensure the population has continued access to emergency care.
2001
AB 430 (Cardenas) established Chapter 171 Statutes created the Trauma Care
Fund & a formula for distribution of funds to local EMS agencies for designated trauma centers
October 2003 Vision Implementation
Project Final Report Acknowledged System
Status Provided Standards &
direction for California Statewide Trauma Planning: Assessment & Future Direction
Problem
State contains 58 counties divided into 31 local EMS agencies
Local trauma systems based on state regulations - not mandated
State EMS Authority Responsible for developing statewide
standards for trauma care systems and trauma centers
Challenges
We still lack a coordinated statewide trauma care system that provides: Universal access to essential trauma care Coordination of resources amongst local
trauma systems A statewide trauma registry to insure
consistent information Consistent dedicated infrastructure
funding
Other Challenges
Large geographic area of the state Variations in terrain Population density Ethnic diversity EMS cultures Weather System and financial resources
EMS Authority 2003-2006

Implementation Plan Leadership Data Funding
Synthesis of Trauma Advisory Committee and EMS Authority
Regional Structural Development
It is proposed the state be divided into trauma regions with responsibilities to include creating access for underserved areas, balancing resources, and leveraging academic resources.

Summary Much work has been done by the
Trauma Advisory Committee and the EMSA
A plan for state organizational structure, regional structural development, data systems, and funding has been developed
This meeting is aimed at starting the implementation process
July Summit Regions for RTCCs defined Local Committees started Goals first year
Create Regional committee governance Create template for quality improvement
and data use Identify gaps in coverage and issues for
region This is our landmark first meeting
