Oakwood Annapolis Hospital in Wayne
was verified as a Level III Trauma Center
last month by the American College of
Surgeons Committee on Trauma (ACSCOT)
making the hospital the first in the region to
earn the distinction.
“This achievement recognizes our dedica-
tion to providing the highest levels of clinical
quality to injured patients and is central to
our vision of becoming the recognized leader
in clinical quality, service and value as an
independent health care system,” said Eric
W. Widner, division president of Oakwood
AnnapolisHospital.
The trauma center verification is a volun-
tary process overseen by the ACSCOT, which
is designed to improve trauma care. It
includes an on-site review of the hospital by
a team of experts that look at everything
from readiness, resources, policies, patient
care and patient outcomes, and performance
improvement. Drs. Mohammad Hakim and
Ralph Scolari, along with John Cargill, RN,
trauma and emergency management coordi-
nator led the team for Annapolis, but Widner
said the credit does not stop there.
“This is a big win for our entire team,
including our EMSpartners in care,” he said.
“For our patients and the communities we
serve, this accomplishment confirms our
commitment that the best possible care will
be provided to injuredpatients.”
There are three main levels of trauma
verification, ranging fromLevel III to Level I,
each with specific criteria that must be met
by a facility seeking that level of verification.
Oakwood Annapolis Hospital opened in
1957 and became part of the Oakwood
Healthcare System in 1989. A $4 million ren-
ovation and expansion of the emergency
department is currently under way at the
hospital that is designed to increase bed
capacity and significantly improve efficiency,
patient privacy, geriatric and bariatric care
safety and provide a greater capacity for iso-
lation and decontamination services. The
new waiting room and other internal
improvements will support the 'Start Up' and
'Fast Track' initiatives, which are designed to
ensure that patients are seen by a physician
sooner.
“It's a continuation of our commitment to
provide the highest level of care to the com-
munity,” Widner said. “We are confident that
through these changes we will improve com-
munity access to and satisfaction with emer-
gency care services provided at Oakwood
Annapolis.”
