“How should we fund trauma system readiness?” - This is the real question. Are trauma activation fees the best pathway?? #ACSCC24 #ACSCC2024 American College of Surgeons See commentary from me and Lisa Knowlton in JAMA Network Open on the topic. jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

Wait, 100 MILLION people in the US lack timely access to high-quality, affordable surgical care!? Policy forces can move in competing directions, so we need a holistic metric for access. We've got lots of work to do! Great work Cody Lendon Mullens Nina Clark, MD, MS Andrew M. Ibrahim MD, MSc Justin B. Dimick

“The underlying issue here is funding trauma center readiness. We’re doing this for our patients. We’re doing this so injured patients can get the care they need anytime, no matter what. That should be our North Star.” 🎙️: John W Scott, MD MPH | #TQIP24

Nearly 1 in 3 Americans lack access to timely, high-quality, and affordable surgical care. Barriers like rural hospital closures, underinsurance, and workforce shortages highlight urgent policy needs to improve equitable access.

There is nothing beautiful about policies that mean the sick will go without healthcare and the hungry will go without food. This is not a policy win, but a moral loss for our nation. Matthew 25:34-45 comes to mind on a day like today. We have so much work to do.

Since there’s suddenly a lot of national interest in the welfare of our nations children, I’m hoping we can work together to make moves against the number 1 cause of death for children in our country: publichealth.jhu.edu/2024/guns-rema…
