hospital emergency capabilities in maryland
Specific systems of care refine the strategies to treat EMS patients optimally, including those with trauma, stroke, cardi ac, and perinatal conditions. Each system defines appropri ate EMS evaluation and treatment and indicates preferred patient receiving centers. Among them are trauma centers (one primary adult resource center, one level I center, four level II centers, three level III centers, two pediatric centers, a hand center, and an eye center), stroke centers (1 Acute stroke ready, 31 primary stroke centers, four thrombectomy capable stroke centers and three comprehensive stroke centers), 24 cardiac interventional centers, an adult and two pediatric burn centers, and perinatal centers (two level III and 13 level IV). Representatives from each designated specialty center actively participate in statewide quality improvement committees, initiatives, and regulation revisions to the Code of Maryland (COMAR) Title 30. from https://history.miemss.org/documents/Annual_Report_2025.pdf - page 19 of 96 lists the facilities maryland has approx 6 free standing ERs also ============================ We continue to work to improve patient experiences on arrival to emergency departments, predominantly by tracking EMS-to-ED transfer of care intervals. To be certain, this also has profound implications for EMS resource management, and helping EMS units be available in their communities. The goal remains transfer of care within 35 minutes 90% of the time. Forty-four percent of receiving facilities reach this goal, and several more are close to achieving it. Each week performance data is shared with each facility. Monthly, it is shared with the Health Services Cost Review Commission (HSCRC). huge huge huge problem - 35 minutes should be 5 minutes
