The collection of all trauma data is a critical element of creating this system, and all hospitals that receive trauma patients will collect and submit data to a state trauma data bank, which will allow for the linking of pre-hospital and hospital data to assist in evaluating system performance, education, and injury prevention needs, as well as to link with other databases to facilitate syndromic surveillance.

Statewide Trauma Advisory Subcommittee (STAC) Organization

The Statewide Trauma Advisory Subcommittee (STAC) Organizational Chart provides an outline of the structured approach that the STAC utilized in formulating the Administrative Rules, Departmental Requirements, and Regional Resource Guide to operationalize an all-inclusive statewide trauma system for Michigan . 

The task of creating a trauma system for Michigan was broken down into five major concept areas, with each area being represented by a work group.  Each workgroup, with the exception of Funding, subsequently further delineated its task by creating sub workgroups to address specific key topics for each concept. 

The Organizational Chart, in additional to depicting the structure and concepts of Michigan's Trauma System, identifies those individuals who participated in the formation of the Trauma Systems Administrative Rules, Departmental Requirements, and Regional Resource Guide.
