    HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES STAFF ANALYSIS BILL #: HB 1077 Trauma Services SPONSOR(S): Trumbull TIED BILLS: IDEN./SIM. BILLS: SB 746 REFERENCE ACTION ANALYST STAFF DIRECTOR or BUDGET/POLICY CHIEF 1) Health Innovation Subcommittee 10 Y, 5 N Siples Poche 2) Health Care Appropriations Subcommittee 10 Y, 5 N Mielke Pridgeon 3) Health & Human Services Committee SUMMARY ANALYSIS The Department of Health (DOH) is responsible for oversight of the statewide inclusive trauma system which ensures that all injured trauma victims have access to the resources needed for care and treatment. Currently, DOH designates trauma centers in regional trauma services areas, but may designate no more than 44 trauma centers in the state, to ensure access to trauma services. Over the years, there has been extensive litigation related to DOH’s apportionment of trauma centers needed in a particular trauma service area, as well as litigation related to the designation of specific hospitals as trauma centers. HB 1077 restructures how trauma centers are designated in the state by: Eliminating the statewide limit on the number of trauma centers; Eliminating trauma service areas and trauma regions; Eliminating DOH’s responsibility to set the standards for trauma centers or perform the necessary site surveys to ensure compliance with the standards; Authorizing DOH to designate a hospital as a trauma center if it holds a certificate of verification issued by a national trauma accreditation body, completes a DOH-approved application, and provides copies of certain documents submitted to and received from the national trauma accreditation body; and Allowing DOH to only deny an application for designation for failure to submit required application materials.
