Idaho TSE System Council

The purpose of the Idaho Time Sensitive Emergency (TSE) System Council is to develop, implement, and monitor a statewide system that includes trauma, stroke, and heart attack facilities.

The 17-member Idaho TSE System Council meets once a month to govern the statewide system. The council has 11 governor-appointed members representing Idaho's hospitals and EMS agencies and provides equitable geographic and rural representation, and 6 TSE Regional Chairs. The TSE program staff from the Idaho Department of Health & Welfare oversees the day-to-day operation of the Idaho TSE System.
