Trauma Meeting (concurrent with Cancer Liaisons Meeting)
Room: Hayes C on the 2nd floor
8:00 am - 10:00 am
This year’s Ohio Committee on Trauma (OCOT) meeting aims to educate legislators, hospital administrators, and key stakeholders about Ohio’s current gaps in trauma/critical care coordination and the potential for a statewide Medical Operations Coordination Center (MOCC).
Topics will include:
- Wright-Patterson Air Force Base’s (WPAFB) perspective on the needs and challenges they foresee in managing large-scale patient arrivals and distribution during a '100/100' scenario or similar surge event.
- Insights into what support or resources WPAFB might require from Ohio’s civilian trauma systems would be invaluable for building an effective civilian-military framework.
- How military trauma expertise and innovations like the RMOCC could enhance Ohio’s surge readiness, and what legislative support might enable integration with civilian systems.
- How the RMOCC concept captures the need for a coordinated national health response that is scalable for everything from natural disasters, mass casualty incidents, attacks on the homeland, to large scale combat operations resulting in large influx of casualties into the US Healthcare System.
