Division of Trauma and Injury PreventionMission:To develop, implement and provide oversight of a statewide comprehensive trauma care system that:P revents injuries. Saves lives. Improves the care and outcomes of trauma patients. Vision :Prevent injuries in Indiana.4

Trauma TourTrauma tour events will be held in all 10 Public Health Preparedness Districts June through August.5 @ INDTrauma

Trauma Tour - GoalsUpdate on the developments of the trauma system.Clarify what an inclusive trauma system is. Clarify the levels of trauma centers in Indiana. Clarify state rules. Describe the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS) project from the CDC and ISDH’s involvement with the grant. 6 @ INDTrauma

Indiana’s Trauma SystemNeed to evaluate the entire trauma system – continuum of trauma patient care7 @ INDTrauma

DefinitionsTrauma: Severe injury or injuries requiring rapid evaluation and transport to specific hospitals with trauma care capabilities.“Worst of the worst”.Trauma system : Organized approach to treating patients with acute injuries. Trauma registry : Repository of data on patients who receive hospital care for certain types of injuries.8

What is Injury?Injuries are NOT accidents!Accident: An unexpected occurrence, happening by chanceInjury: A definable, correctable event, with specific risks for occurrenceInjuries affect all regardless of age, race, or economic status 9 @ INDTrauma

Cause of Injury CategoriesCut/PierceDrowning/Submersion*FallFire/Burn Fire/FlameHot object/substance Firearm Machinery Motor Vehicle Traffic Pedal Cyclist, Other Pedestrian , Other Transport, OtherNatural/EnvironmentalBites and StingsOverexertionPoisoning* Struck By, againstSuffocation* * Not considered Traumatic Injury 10 @ INDTrauma

U.S. Trauma FactsFor every trauma death in the United States:Approximately 10 people are hospitalized and transferred to specialized medical care. 178 people are treated and released from hospital emergency departments.Problems posed by injury are most acute in our rural areas: 60% of all trauma deaths occur in areas of the United States where only 25% of the population lives .

Injuries in IndianaLeading cause of death among persons age 1-44 years.Unintentional injuries leading cause of Years of Potential Life Lost.Fifth leading cause of death overall, contributes to nearly 7% of all deaths in Indiana. Nearly 32,000 hospitalizations for all injuries in 2013. Source: Indiana State Department of Health, Epidemiology Resource Center, Data Analysis Team. 12

Trauma Lessons LearnedWhen trauma patients are transported, by ground or air, to trauma centers:The preventable death rate DROPS by up to 25%.There are significant reductions of chronic disabilities and overall community care costs. Reference: MacKenzie EJ, Rivara FP, Jurkovich GJ, et al. A national Evaluation of the effect of trauma-center care on mortality. N Engl J Med 2006; 354:366-378. 13 @ INDTrauma

Trauma Lessons LearnedOregon’s trauma system, for example has:Reduced mortality by more than 25%.Reduced morbidity by more than 40%.Reduced health care costs.Another study showed that the costs of trauma in states with integrated trauma systems dropped 9%.

2004 - Trauma System Advisory Task Force formed.2006 - IC 16-19-3-28 (Public Law 155) named the State Health Department the lead agency for statewide trauma system.Indiana’s Journey 15 @ INDTrauma

2008 - American College of Surgeons conducted an evaluation and provided a set of recommendations for further development of Indiana’s trauma system.2009 – Governor Daniels created by executive order the Indiana State Trauma Care Committee (ISTCC)Indiana’s Journey 16 @ INDTrauma

2011 - ISDH created the Trauma and Injury Prevention Division.2012 – EMS Commission adopted the Triage and Transport Rule.Indiana’s Journey17 @ INDTrauma

The most seriously injured patients should go to a trauma center no matter how long it takes to get them there. http://www.cdc.gov/fieldtriage/pdf/decisionscheme_poster_a.pdf 18 @ INDTrauma

Triage & Transport RuleThe most seriously injured patients should go to a trauma center no matter how long it takes to get them there.EMS Commission’s rule offers two qualifications to this:If the patient’s life is in danger.If the nearest trauma center is more than 45 minutes away.Competent patients always have the right to decide where to be taken.19 @ INDTrauma

Trauma Center Access in Indiana (January 2013)20

Trauma Center Access in Indiana(August 2014) 21

Indiana’s “In The Process” Process@INDTrauma

In the Process - TipsIf you are unsure – ASK. Become close friends with Trauma program. Check the ACS website to ensure you schedule your Consultation/Verification visits in time. As of August 2015: Applications must be submitted 12 months in advance. Currently accepting site visit applications to be scheduled starting in May 2016. Please note: Visits scheduled after July 1, 2015 will be reviewed under the Resources 2014 manual (Orange Book) 23

2013:•Governor Pence signs the Trauma Registry Rule.Indiana’s Journey24 @ INDTrauma

Trauma Registry RuleRule that requires these providers to report data to the trauma registry:EMS providers.All hospitals with EDs. Rehabilitation hospitals. 25 @ INDTrauma

Trauma Registry RuleRule that requires these providers to report data to the trauma registry:EMS providers.National EMS Information System (NEMSIS) Silver. 15th of the month. All hospitals with EDs. National Trauma Data Standard (NTDS ). Quarterly. Rehabilitation hospitals.CMS – Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility Patient Assessment Instrument (IRF-PAI). Quarterly. Rule also permits ISDH to grant any person involved in a legitimate research activity to request access to confidential information. 26 @ INDTrauma

•The ISDH hosted the first statewide EMS Medical Director’s Conference.•IU Health Arnett Hospital and IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital became the state’s first ACS verified level III trauma centers.•The ISDH received $1.4 million from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to gather critical data on violent deaths using the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS). Indiana’s Journey - 2014 27 @ INDTrauma

Indiana Violent Death Reporting System (INVDRS)28 @ INDTrauma

32 States Funded in 2014 29

INVDRSIndiana Violent Death Reporting System Database to monitor and track trends of violent deaths in Indiana Data for informing local prevention efforts 30 @ INDTrauma

What is a Violent Death?SuicideHomicide Undetermined Intent Unintentional Firearm Death Legal Intervention Terrorism 31 @ INDTrauma

Four Primary ObjectivesCreate and update a plan to implement INVDRS in Indiana Collect and abstract comprehensive data on violent deaths from: Death Certificates Coroner reports Law enforcement records Optional Modules: *Child Fatality Review* Intimate Partner Violence Drug Overdose/Poisonings 32 @ INDTrauma

Four Primary Objectives, Cont’dDisseminate aggregate INVDRS data to stakeholders, the public, and CDC’s multi-state database Explore innovative methods of collecting, reporting, and sharing data Improve timeliness and greater utilization of data for prevention efforts33 @ INDTrauma

The ISDH hosted the first statewide injury prevention conference.New state law requiring reporting of data to ISDH – SEA 406.Creating an Injury Prevention Resource Guide.Indiana’s Journey - 2015 34 @ INDTrauma

Overdose intervention drugsSEA406—“Naloxone bill”Allows for broader distribution of Naloxone (which reverses the effects of opioid overdoses).Can be prescribed directly to someone at-risk of opioid overdose or to their family/friends or by standing order and be immune from civil liability. Dispensing of Naloxone must be registered with the state trauma registry. ISDH is developing a protocol for registration. @ INDTrauma 35

Injury Prevention Resource Guide36Create a document that can provide easily accessible and understandable data and information on the size and scope of specific injury problems in Indiana.Highlight evidence-based solutions to the problem of injury @ INDTrauma

Where is Indiana?Indiana does not have an integrated statewide trauma system—one of only 6 states without one.Indiana has components of a system:Emergency medical services (EMS) providers.Trauma centers. Verified by ACS. A trauma registry. Rehabilitation facilities. 37@ INDTrauma

Verified vs. DesignatedVerified:National process.Levels I, II, III.Refer to kinds of resources available in a trauma center. Designated: State process (not yet promulgated): Indiana’s designation requirements will go hand-in-hand with the national verification requirements. Additional, unique criteria. 38@INDTrauma
