EMS Field Destination Guidelines, based on the Center for Disease Control (CDC) Field Triage Decision Scheme, provide for the transport of trauma patients to the most appropriate facility. The approved Trauma Activation Criteria, based on the publication Resources for Optimal Care of the Injured Patient, provide the criteria used by trauma center staff for trauma team activation.
