Resuscitate and stabilize the patient according to priority.
Determine if the patient’s needs exceed facility’s capabili-
ties.
Arrange appropriately for the patient’s definitive care.
Ensure that optimum care is provided.
The cost of injury is excessive in
dollars as well as the price of
human suffering……
Injury is precipitous and
indiscriminate.

cal diagnoses care within the Central Ohio region. COTS

ber hospitals.
