All About HOTRAC and Our Work in Heart of Texas

The first thing to know about HOTRAC in the Heart of Texas, is what Regional Advisory Councils (RACs) are. They are administrative bodies responsible for trauma system oversite within the bounds of a given service area in Texas. HOTRAC is the administrative body in Trauma Service Area M (TSA M). Each of the 22 RACs is tasked with developing, implementing, and monitoring a regional emergency medical service trauma system plan. Generally, RAC stakeholders are comprised of healthcare entities and other concerned citizens interested in improving and organizing trauma, emergency, and time-sensitive healthcare.

As such, an important fact to remember about HOTRAC is that not every Regional Advisory Council is structured the same. However, each RAC has the same objectives--to reduce the incidence of injury through outreach & education, data collection, data analysis, and performance improvement. Typically, this is accomplished via educational programs and performance improvement efforts designed to offer every provider the guidance and motive to reduce trauma and enhance patients’ outcomes.
