TO: NCTTRAC Members

DUE: 17 June 2009, 8:00 am - 12:00 pm for EMS and 1:00

ACTION: Schedule in Calendar and Print New Handouts

The Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) is in the process

of formally assessing the current EMS/Trauma Registry system. This

assessment, called the Trauma Registry Improvement System Assessment

(TRISA) Project, has stemmed from DSHS and stakeholder concerns over the

integrity, usefulness and viability of the current system.

All NCTTRAC/TSA-E EMS providers, trauma service providers and any others

interested in contributing their thoughts and expertise to the

development of the Texas EMS/Trauma Registry are encouraged to attend

one of the meetings.

The only scheduled meeting in the NCTTRAC/TSA-E region is:

June 17 Grapevine Convention Center

Concord I

1209 South Main Street

Grapevine, Texas 76051
