National Perspective
A System in Turmoil
• Emergency Department Overcrowding• Fragmentation of Care• Emergency Medical Services Crisis• A Shortage of Specialists• Insufficient Disaster Preparedness• Pediatric Care Most Affected

Rural Trauma Care
… nearly 60% of all trauma deaths occur in rural areas despite the fact that only 20% of the nation’s population live in these areas…

Critical Access Hospitals(CAH)*
• Limited bed count to 25• LOS ≤ 4 day limit• 24-hr emergency care services
(focus and stabilizing and transfer to definitive care for, heart attacks, stroke, trauma)
• Must be >35mi. from another hospital
* If they meet these requirements they are eligible to receive cost-based reimbursement from Medicare

*Due to geography, demographics, and access to care, CAH have an integral role in the development of a rural trauma system.
- Fills in geographic gaps
- Stabilize a transfer (analogous to Forward Surgical Station; Battalion Aide Station
in austere environment)
One Man’s Opinion
FUNDING ALREADY AVAILABLE!!

ACS – COT(Rural Trauma Subcommittee)
• Developing standards for Level IV hospitals
• Many will be CAH

One Man’s Opinion
INCLUSIVE: Help all healthcare facilities in delivering the best trauma care possible.
APPROACH: Be consultative and facilitative.
CONSIDER: Local culture, politics, economics.
PRIME DIRECTIVE: Keep the patient at the center of all decisions.
RESOLVE: Never give up.

Are our historical “de facto” rural trauma systems adequate?
•Historically→ YES
•Presently→ ? or NO

Risk Assessment
All Communities
High-Risk Visibility Targets
![Page 36: Developments in Rural Trauma Frederick B. Rogers, MD, MS, FACS Medical Director of Trauma Lancaster General Hospital](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56649ea75503460f94baa93a/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Could it happen in our Rural Community?Homeland Security→ YES!
Terrorist Rationale for a Rural Strike:•“soft” target•“austere” environment—locations where aspects of political, social, physical or economic environment impose severe restraints on disaster response
•Opportunity for hitting multiple targets simultaneously
•High emotional effect (strike the heartland of America)—create a climate of fear and panic
![Page 37: Developments in Rural Trauma Frederick B. Rogers, MD, MS, FACS Medical Director of Trauma Lancaster General Hospital](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56649ea75503460f94baa93a/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
The best preparation for a bioterrorism attack is to have a well-organized trauma system within your state!

Response Preparation
“All politics are local”…as are all disasters.
The concept that the government will swoop down and save the day is fatally flawed.
The government may swoop down but it will take 24-48 hours—by then it may be too late.
![Page 39: Developments in Rural Trauma Frederick B. Rogers, MD, MS, FACS Medical Director of Trauma Lancaster General Hospital](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56649ea75503460f94baa93a/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Response Preparation
How and Where to BeginHow and Where to Begin
EMS assessment for disaster response.EMS assessment for disaster response.
Rural EMS system is a mile wide and an Rural EMS system is a mile wide and an inch deep.inch deep.
Must take into account there is little redundancy in EMS system locally, but an excellent capacity to cull EMS capability from surrounding communities.
EMS personnel are well-trained in this ability to
respond because they do it on a daily basis.

Response Preparation
Rural Option (Rural) for Triage:
Sacrifice the nearest community hospital
-battalion aid station model
-could be supported by telemedicine
-higher clinical capabilities for triage, acute care
-they have phone, fax, internet, etc.
-ability to shelter from environment
-better staging point

“It is not a question of IF
it will happen.
It is a question of WHEN
it will happen,”
