The
key concept to Wisconsin's Trauma Care System is the establishment
of Regional Trauma Advisory Councils (RTACs). An RTAC is an organized
group of healthcare entities and other concerned individuals who
have an interest in organizing and improving trauma care within
a specified region of the State. An RTAC serves as the unifying
foundation to bring together all local, county, regional, state,
federal and other agencies, for the planning, education, training
and prevention efforts needed to assure the exemplary care needed
pre, acute and post injury for all visitors and citizens in Wisconsin.
The primary purpose of an RTAC is to design, implement and evaluate
a trauma system within a region that is data-based, confidential
and sensitive to the needs and limitations of each regional area.
While each RTAC retains autonomy within the state's trauma system,
it must function within the scope of Wisconsin's State Trauma
Plan and the Trauma System Administrative Rules.
