7 AAC 26.710 - Purpose
The purpose of 7 AAC 26.710 - 7 AAC 26.745 is to promote the health and safety of the people of Alaska by setting minimum standards for hospitals or medical clinics to voluntarily meet criteria adopted by the department so that they may represent themselves as trauma centers. Nothing in 7 AAC 26.710 - 7 AAC 26.745 is intended to require a hospital, clinic, or other entity to be certified as a trauma center in order to treat patients with traumatic injuries. However, under AS 18.08.084(e), a hospital, clinic, or other entity not certified as a trauma center under AS 18.08.082, may not represent itself as a trauma center.
