048-1 Wyo. Code R. § 1-2
(a) These rules are designed to create an organized, statewide system for trauma patient care through the establishment of trauma service areas served by designated trauma center hospitals for which standards are set. The standards are formulated to be consistent with national criteria established by the American College of Surgeons and the American College of Emergency Physicians and have extended those criteria to meet the needs of Wyoming. These rules are applicable to facilities and emergency medical service providers which participate in the Wyoming Trauma Plan. They are designed to be consistent with and should be read in conjunction with the Wyoming Emergency Medical Services Act of 1977, W.S. 33-36-101, as amended, and the Standards, Rules, and Regulations for Hospitals and Related Facilities. The Department may issue manuals, bulletins, or both, to interpret the provisions of these rules and regulations. Such manuals and bulletins shall be consistent with and reflect the policies contained in these rules and regulations. The provisions contained in manuals or bulletins shall be subordinate to the provisions of these rules and regulations.
(b) The incorporation by reference of any external standard is intended to be the incorporation of that standard as it is in effect on the effective date of this Chapter of these rules and regulations.
