Strategic Assessment and Planning

In December 2007, the Georgia Trauma Care Network Commission met for the first time. SB 60 had enabled the formation of the Commission and the Georgia Trauma Fund. Approximately $59 million was allocated to the Trauma Fund and the Commission was charged with distributing the Fund fairly and effectively, acting as the accountability mechanism, and overseeing the flow of funds into the entire Georgia trauma system.  SB 60 specifically mandated that EMS, designated trauma centers, and trauma physicians were to be funded.

Commission meetings were held monthly with subcommittees meeting regularly. The Commission assessed trauma center readiness costs, uncompensated care, best practices from other states, and alternate funding formulas for trauma centers, trauma physicians and EMS. In June 2008, the Commission approved the 2008-2009 $59 million trauma system-funding plan.  

The Georgia Trauma Commission is committeed to ongoing assessment of and strategic planning for the Georgia Trauma System.
