The department of health and human services may establish and maintain a comprehensive trauma system for the state. The trauma system may include standards for the following components:
1. A system plan.
2. Prehospital emergency medical services.
3. Hospitals, for which the standards must include:
a. Standards for designation, redesignation, and dedesignation of trauma centers.
b. Standards for evaluation and quality improvement programs for designated trauma centers. The standards must require each trauma center to collect quality improvement data and to provide specified portions to the department for use in state and regional trauma quality improvement programs.
c. Qualifications for trauma center personnel.
4. A trauma registry. Data in the trauma registry is not subject to subpoena or discovery or introduction into evidence in any civil action. Designated trauma centers must participate in the trauma registry. A hospital not designated as a trauma center must provide to the registry a minimum set of data elements for all trauma patients.
5. A trauma quality improvement program to monitor the performance of the trauma system. The proceedings and records of the program are not subject to subpoena or discovery or introduction into evidence in any civil action arising out of any matter that is the subject of consideration by the program.
