Agenda:Regionalizing Emergency Care Workshop
Background:
In 2006, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) released a series of three reports on the Future of Emergency Care in the United States Health System. One of the central conclusions of those reports was that the nation should move toward a more regionalized system of emergency care. This workshop brings stakeholders and policymakers together to discuss how the federal government can promote “regionalized, coordinated and accountable” emergency and trauma care systems, as envisioned in the 2006 reports. It also provides an opportunity to examine the progress that has been made in various parts of the country over the past several years.
Audience:
Participants will include policymakers from the various federal agencies involved in emergency care, state and local officials, and stakeholders from the health care provider community. Thought leaders from a wide range of relevant disciplines will be in attendance, including nursing, EMS, specialist physicians and surgeons, public health officers, and hospital and health system administrators.
Objectives:
1. Foster information exchange between federal officials involved in advancing emergency care regionalization and key stakeholder groups from around the country.
2. Learn from past experience and current efforts.
3. Hold discussions with federal partners regarding policy options that could be the focus of future federal action.
