abstract="When an injured patient presents to a non-trauma hospital, and a provider determines  that the needs of the patient exceed the capabilities of the hospital, she faces a  critical decision: where to send the patient? Hospital referral patterns may be  predetermined by inter-facility transfer agreements, but they may also be informed  by evidence regarding hospital outcomes. For example, a limited amount of evidence  suggests that patients with traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) have improved survival  when treated at ACS Level I trauma centers compared with ACS Level II trauma  centers.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
