This Agreement approves the designation of John Muir Hospital as the Cou1 .nty's
Trauma Center and begins implementation of the County Trauma System Plan approved
by the State Emergency Medical Services Authority on December 21, 1985. John Muir
Hospital was the sole applicant responding to the County's Request for Proposal and
was recommended for designation following a rigorous review by an outside team of
trauma experts. (This process was fully described in the "Staff Report on Trauma
Center Designation" reviewed by your Board on April 22, 1986.) The proposed
Agreement is for a three-year period, including a one-year probationary period.
Upon approval of this Agreement, trauma services will be phased in as recommended
by the team which conducted the proposal and site review. Under the implementation
plan developed by the Health Services Department and John Muir Hospital, paramedic
units under John Muir Base Hospital direction (west and south-central areas of the
County) may begin transporting patients to the Trauma Center on June 2, 1986. All
areas are planned to be phased in by July 1, 1986.
Formal opening ceremonies for the Trauma Center are being planned by John Muir
Hospital for early July.
This Agreement has been approved as to legal form by the County Counsel's Office.
