Current through Register Vol. 39, No. 2, July 15, 2024
(a) For initial
				  Trauma Center designation or changing the level of Trauma Center designation,
				  the hospital shall request a consult visit by OEMS and the consult shall occur
				  within one year prior to submission of the RFP.
(b) A hospital interested in pursuing Trauma
				  Center designation shall submit a letter of intent 180 days prior to the
				  submission of an RFP to the OEMS. The letter shall define the hospital's
				  primary trauma catchment area. Simultaneously, Level I or II applicants shall
				  also demonstrate the need for the Trauma Center designation by submitting one
				  original and three copies of documents that include:
(1) the population to be served and the
				  extent that the population is underserved for trauma care with the methodology
				  used to reach this conclusion;
(2)
				  geographic considerations, to include trauma primary and secondary catchment
				  area and distance from other Trauma Centers; and
(3) evidence the Trauma Center will admit
				  1200 or more trauma patients annually or show that its trauma service will be
				  taking care of at least 240 trauma patients with an ISS greater than or equal
				  to 15 yearly. These criteria shall be met without compromising the quality of
				  care or cost effectiveness of any other designated Level I or II Trauma Center
				  sharing all or part of its catchment area or by jeopardizing the existing
				  Trauma Center's ability to meet this same 240- patient minimum.
