Trauma Center again
CONCORD ó After voluntarily relinquishing its Trauma Designation in 2007, officials at Carolinas Medical Center-NorthEast have learned the N.C. Office of Emergency Medical Services has reinstated the original Level III Trauma designation.
The notice followed a site visit last month that found no process deficiencies and that the hospital’s ability to work together as a team was apparent.
Trauma Centers in North Carolina are established in one of four categories with one being the highest level. Services provided through a level III facility include a wide range of processes covering both the stabilization and treatment of trauma patients. This year, CMC-NorthEast estimates 85,000 patients will seek treatment in the Emergency Care Center, of which more than 450 will be identified as trauma cases.
