;;0Trauma facilities
designated "with
contingencies"
listed on website
DSHS updates the list of
trauma facilities each month
on our website. Some of those
facilities are designated "with
contingencies." The Office of
EMS/Trauma Systems reviews
the survey reports for trauma
and stroke designations based on
compliance with DSHS rules,
looking for overall compliance
with the rule and standard of care
provided to ensure quality care is
available for trauma patients in
its area. A facility with significant
deficiencies (findings of non-
compliance with rule criteria)
may still receive a designation,
but it is contingent upon meeting
required reporting or having a
focus survey. In this case, the
facility will receive a letter from
DSHS that delineates the areas
to be addressed and the specific
timelines by which to comply.
