Abstract
This is the most comprehensive study of its kind and demonstrates that ABA burn center referral criteria are not always used for effective regionalized burn care or to ensure the best possible outcomes. Even with establishment of the burn center verification process, the mere presence of a VBC is insufficient for effective regionalized care. A greater emphasis is needed on the development of burn care systems.
