Purpose


Review these rules and amend rule language as necessary to ensure that all rules conform to statutory requirements and delete unnecessary and obsolete language. The department intends to update trauma rule definitions and prehospital requirements for trauma care and adult and pediatric trauma scoring methodologies. The Department is considering repealing sections 64J-2.003, 64J-2.004, and 64J-2.005 and adopting the Guidelines for Field Triage of Injured Patients, Recommendation of the National Expert Panel on Field Triage, 2011, as the trauma scoring system.
