Wisconsin's Regional Trauma Advisory Councils
The key concept to Wisconsin's Trauma Care System is the establishment
of Regional Trauma Advisory Councils (RTACs). An RTAC is an organized
group of healthcare entities and other concerned individuals who have an
interest in organizing and improving trauma care within a specified region
of the State. An RTAC serves as the unifying foundation to bring together
all local, county, regional, state, federal and other agencies, for the
planning, education, training and prevention efforts needed to assure the
exemplary care needed pre, acute and post injury for all visitors and
citizens in Wisconsin.
The primary purpose of an RTAC is to design, implement and evaluate a
trauma system within a region that is data-based, confidential and
sensitive to the needs and limitations of each regional area. While each
RTAC retains autonomy within the state's trauma system, it must function
within the scope of Wisconsin's State Trauma Plan and the Trauma System
Administrative Rules.
Wisconsin recognizes nine RTACs: Identified below are the RTACs,
website addresses and contact individuals in
each region.
