Creighton University Hospital Expects Trauma Certification

alegent-creighton-healthOMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Catholic Health Initiatives officials say they’re confident that Creighton University Medical Center’s trauma center soon will be certified for Level 1 patients.

The CHI Health officials say a state review team examined the trauma program on Wednesday and found no deficiencies.

The state’s chief medical officer told Creighton early last month that a review team found in October that the trauma center failed to meet four out of the more than 160 standards that must be satisfied for the Level 1 designation. Trauma centers treat people who require immediate and intensive attention, and Level 1 patients may need resuscitation or establishment of an airway.
