Abstrakt: This paper introduces PARTITION, a method for evaluating prehospital services for trauma patients. The method can be used to compare the performance of a particular service to the accumulated experience with many different prehospital care providers. The essential element of the comparison is to separate (partition) the effects of the prehospital ministrations from those of subsequent hospital care.
