Community of trauma care partnering with stakeholders to improve injury outcomes: survey analysis and panel development.

Background: In June 2021, the Injury Research Engagement Project (I-REP) was established. In 2022, we preformed focus group analysis with patients/caregiver and researchers that resulted in themes in preferences, motivations, and best practices to increase participation in trauma research. The importance of trust and well-established relationships was common across all groups.

Promoting Resident Education Priorities With an Acute Care Surgery Service Dashboard.

Objective: To advance surgical education priorities by using electronic health record (EHR) reporting and data visualization on an Acute Care Surgery (ACS).

Design: Operational data from the EHR for the ACS service was displayed on an ACS dashboard using Tableau software. This data included new ACS consults (reason for consult, consult note author - attending surgeon and resident) and operations generated by those consults (type of operation, primary attending surgeon, and assisting resident).

Recent trends and risk factors for chemical and physical restraint use in the emergency department evaluation and treatment of trauma patients.

Background: Despite research linking chemical and physical restraints to negative outcomes including unplanned intubations and psychological distress, there is little guidance for their use in the care of trauma patients. We used institutional data to describe recent trends in chemical and physical restraint in the emergency department evaluation and treatment of trauma patients and to identify characteristics associated with their use.

Methods: This study includes adult trauma activations at a United States urban level I trauma center from January 2016 to July 2022.

Community of trauma care partnering with stakeholders to improve injury outcomes: focus group analysis.

Introduction: Engaging trauma survivors/caregivers results in research findings that are more relevant to patients' needs and priorities. Although their perspectives increase research significance, there is a lack of understanding about how best to incorporate their insights. We aimed to capture stakeholder perspectives to ensure research is meaningful, respectful, and relevant to the injured patient and their caregivers.
