Abstract
- Injured patients are especially prone to developing complications. Using a multidisciplinary standardized approach to complication review is an effective method of evaluating quality improvement in patients on the trauma service. Collaboration between trauma surgeons and nurse clinicians is instrumental in improving the care of patients in each of the areas we identified. Using this consistently, quality improvement strategies can be put in place and tracked for outcomes. This has allowed for better quantification of the problem as well as any change that may result from applying this formal review process and subsequent intervention.
