As designated by the State of Texas, STRAC developed, implemented, and maintains the trauma system for Trauma Service Area - P (TSA-P). TSA-P is a 26,000 square mile area, including:
• 2 Level I Trauma Centers
• 16 PCI centers
• 12 stroke centers
• 22 counties (urban, suburban, rural, and frontier)
• 74 general and specialty hospitals
• Air medical providers
• Over 70 EMS agencies
STRAC designed, developed, and deployed a data collection system for the region, EMS Patient Care Records (ePCR), which is used by over 60 agencies and contains over 2.5 million records. In tandem, STRAC developed a regional Trauma Registry with an outside vendor, which has been implemented at 25 of the 31 designated trauma facilities in TSA-P and holds over 175,000 records in the trauma registry.
STRAC operates MEDCOM, a regional coordination center which facilitates trauma transfers to the appropriate level of care in the TSA-P area and adjacent Trauma Service Areas. Given the plethora of data elements and the strategic partnerships harnessed through stakeholder engagement, STRAC has conducted research in the areas of Trauma, Stroke, and Cardiac care.
