ADVOCACY
The NFTC, as a 501c 6 Trade Association, has the ability to engage in political advocacy on behalf of trauma centers and systems. The Advocacy Committee, led by David Jaffe, CEO of Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, is comprised of Government Relations professionals from our nation's leading trauma centers along with trauma center leaders.
The Committee has put together a lobbyist agenda and is working with a nationally recognized lobbying firm on these activities.
Current initiatives supported by the NFTC Advocacy Committee are:
Implement UB-92 Trauma Revenue Codes
Support Improved Reimbursement for Trauma Care
Promote Federal Support for Trauma Care Solutions
Monitor trauma system economic status across the nation on a state and regional basis
Educate the general public and policymakers on the definition of trauma care and the services trauma centers provide
Enhance the role that trauma centers play at times of mass casualties due to terrorism
Connect trauma centers with congressional representatives to build a national trauma care political support network
