The Evolution of “STRAUMA”: Using Innovation and Technology to Improve Trauma and Stroke Patient Care

Not unlike other trauma centers, one of our top mechanisms of injury is geriatric ground-level falls. As part of our trauma performance improvement process, we identified an opportunity with relation to this population in which both Trauma and Stroke alerts were required. While we had our Trauma and Stroke alerts dialed in, we realized we still had a problem: our communication systems were not as fast or efficient as they could be when dealing with patients that needed coordinated care from both the Trauma and Stroke teams. We saw there was an opportunity to streamline alerts and coordination of care for those types of patients. Learn how we turned all of that around with a little bit of innovation and technology—to improve efficiency, eliminate phone calls to multiple people, and create a novel “STRAUMA” alert (Trauma + Stroke) with dual team notification and response for improved patient care and team coordination.
