6 Table 6.2 Proposed Designation of Trauma Services in Rural Victoria 6.1 Proposed Designation for Trauma Services in Metropolitan Melbourne
Note: Hospitals are designated as Primary Injury Service because either they do not sufficiently meet the reception and resuscitative requirements of a Metropolitan Trauma Service or are within close proximity to a more appropriate trauma service. Some hospitals have not been designated to receive paediatric major trauma since they are within close proximity to a more appropriate trauma service. Private hospitals are designated within the system structure but major trauma patients are not to be conveyed to those hospitals as consistent with the Department of Human Services Circular, 4/1998, 14/4/98. 6.2 Proposed Designation of Trauma Services in Rural Victoria
Note: Hospitals were designated as a Primary Injury Service because either they do not sufficiently meet the reception and resuscitative requirements of an Urgent Care Service or are geographically close to a higher designated service. Private facilities have been included in this listing to provide comprehensiveness and in recognition of their role in local injury management for public patients. There is a variation between the Primary Injury Services in the level of provision of health care services. (11) Seasonal service only - approximately 18 weeks. |
