Sections available for comment for only three business days due to tight

timeline

American College of Surgeons (ACS) is going to do an assessment of the

Texas Trauma Systems in May. ACS has asked the Office of EMS/Trauma

Systems Coordination (OEMS/TS) to gather supporting documentation in the

form of a Prereview Questionnaire (PRQ) to educate ACS surveyors about

the Texas Trauma System. The PRQ is due to ACS by March 18.

The OEMS/TS began compiling the responses for the PRQ about a month ago.

GETAC's Trauma Systems Committee requested that information compiled for

the PRQ be made available for stakeholder comment. As each section of

the PRQ is completed, it will be posted to the web for comment. Because

of the tight timeline, each section will be posted for only three

business days.
