Michigan emergency and critical care network
Michigan SIREN Collaborative
This program links hospitals and EMS teams so people with sudden, serious emergencies can be enrolled in coordinated emergency care and clinical trials more quickly.

What this research studies
From a patient view, this network brings together major hospitals and universities across Michigan (and partner sites) so emergency patients can be enrolled in clinical work aimed at improving care. It uses a hub-and-spoke setup with designated STEMI, trauma, burn, and children’s centers and close coordination with EMS. The network uses streamlined, three-tiered enrollment procedures, shared staff roles, and prior experience with Exception From Informed Consent (EFIC) to reduce errors and increase timely enrollment. That structure helps sites run high-quality emergency research and give diverse patients access to new emergency treatments.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: People treated for acute, life-threatening problems (for example severe trauma, heart attack, major burns, pediatric emergencies, or urgent neurologic events) at participating hospitals are the most likely candidates.
Not a fit: People with routine or non-urgent outpatient conditions or those cared for outside the participating hospital network are unlikely to benefit directly from this program.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this could speed delivery of better emergency treatments and expand access to cutting-edge care for critically ill patients.
How similar studies have performed: This network builds on prior successful emergency research hubs and has been a top enroller in the SIREN network and other EFIC studies.
