Assess the patient’s condition rapidly and accurately.
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
coordinates health care services in times of disasters and
optimizes the delivery of educational services for its mem-
ber hospitals.
