Abstract

The article discusses a 2020 report on higher mortality rates in U.S. rural counties than in urban areas, and lower mortality rates in counties with a regional trauma center. It states that this provides clinicians, health service researchers, and policy makers improvement opportunities to check pediatric deaths from prevention to posttrauma care. Also noted is the use of telemedicine in the emergency department to effect greater provider and patient satisfaction.
