These courses are intended for internal hospital staff.

Activity Description:

This is an interdisciplinary committee made up of physicians that get together monthly to discuss complex trauma cases and to make determinations on whether or not an opportunity for improvement exists. If an opportunity is identified, the committee then determines what actions are needed moving forward. The other purpose of this committee is to evaluate clinical practice guidelines and approve or update them for use within our facility.

Target Audience: 

Physicians, APP, nurses, EMS, Allied Health Professionals

Learning Objectives:

1. Develop protocols and procedures for reviewing and evaluating trauma cases to identify areas of improvement for patient care and outcomes.
2. Educate and train healthcare providers on best practices for managing and treating trauma patients, including the use of emerging technologies and techniques.
3. Monitor and analyze trauma data to identify trends and patterns, and make recommendations for implementing changes to improve overall trauma care within the hospital.
