Denver Health is a Level I. We have Surgical Residents. We have a two-tiered
system. For Trauma Alerts the Chief Resident must be present upon patient
arrival. For Trauma Activations the Trauma Surgeon must be present upon
patient arrival.

Subject: [traumanurses] 3 tiered system
I have a few questions as we are re-evaluating our activation criteria. Does
anyone use a 3-tiered trauma activation system? (ie. 911/912/consult)
What level center are you?
Do you have surgical residents?
What are the response time expectations for your Trauma Surgeons to arrive for
each of the activation levels?
Thanks a million,
