 The objective of this research was to analyze the current system of emergency medical care for injured people in the United States and identify potential areas for improvement. This included a review of literature, semantical and economic methods, and organization of the medical help delivery to the injured persons in the US. The results showed that the system of emergency medical care for injured people is based on trauma centers, which are more effective and cost efficient than other forms of care. Additionally, it was found that there is a need for at least 30 level 1 trauma centers, 200 level 2 centers, and 300 level 3 centers in order to provide adequate care to all injured patients. Finally, it was concluded that the system should be organized around a network of trauma centers, with each center providing comprehensive care for severely injured patients.
