Dear Healthcare Provider,
The Fox Valley Regional Trauma Advisory Council (RTAC) has been
meeting since October, 2002. The goal of the RTAC is to improve the
care of the trauma patient in the Fox Valley and surrounding areas.
An executive council consisting of 14 members has been elected and
includes representation from pre-hospital and hospital personnel as
well as community health personnel. Representatives are equally
divided between rural and urban care providers.
The purpose of the attached survey is to determine the
capabilities of the hospitals that are served by the Fox Valley
RTAC. We would appreciate your assistance in obtaining this
information. In addition, we would like to encourage personnel from
your facility to become involved in the RTAC. The RTAC consists of 4
subcommittees that meet monthly prior to the full RTAC meeting. The
subcommittees are: Injury Prevention & Education, Medical Oversight,
Performance & Improvement, and Specialty Care. Meetings of the
subcommittees are held monthly on the 2nd Wednesday of
the month at 6 pm, the full meeting follows at 7 pm. Locations vary.
For more information please go to: www.thedacare.org/trauma and
select the Regional Trauma Advisory Council link or you may call
Kelly Stanislaus, RTAC Secretary, at 920-729-3347.
Please complete this survey and return by July 15, 2003
