The number of level I, II, or III in the region matches the NBATS recommended number.- The number of level I, II, or III in the region exceeds the NBATS recommended number.
- The number of level I, II, or III in the region is below the NBATS recommended number.
*The alternate for element 2 is based on NBATS points allocated based on transport times to level I and II DTCs, as opposed to all acute care facilities. Based on the alternate NBATS point allocation, the recommended number of centers in TSA 9 would be 3.
DTC, designated trauma center; ICISS, International Classification of Injury Severity Score; NBATS, Needs Based Assessment of Trauma Systems; TSA, trauma service area.
