Patients with severe injuries require the complex integration of care between medicine, nursing, and allied health services. Increasing patient volumes, clinic visits, and a regional directive to improve patient flow have added pressure for all members of the trauma team from the emergency department to the wards and to the outpatient clinics. With increasing workload, concerns emerged regarding the lack of consistency in practice. The decision was made to develop a process to standardize and improve the admission process for trauma patients. After a lengthy collaborative process, an assessment booklet, order set and medication administration record (MAR) were developed and implemented in a large tertiary care facility.Références
