A National Trauma Care System: Integrating Military & Civilian Trauma Systems

Описание: Trauma is the leading cause of death in the United States for those 46 and under.

Those potential gains soar into the tens of thousands of lives saved if past and future improvements in military trauma care could be systematically translated into the civilian sector.

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine report "A National Trauma Care System: Integrating Military and Civilian Trauma Systems to Achieve Zero Preventable Deaths After Injury" presents a vision for a national trauma care system driven by the clear and bold aim of zero preventable deaths after injury and minimal trauma-related disability: to benefit those the nation sends into harm’s way in combat, as well as every American.
