Electronic Trauma Resuscitation Documentation and Decision Support Using T6 Health Systems Mobile Application: A Combat Trauma Center Pilot Program

Abstract

Trauma resuscitation events are recorded and documented on a handwritten 5-page form in real time in the ED. The document must be scanned later and uploaded in electronic health record (EHR) to become part of the patient record. Multiple problems illegible handwriting, lost forms, delayed availability. Deployed setting hectic combat environment, multiple transports to different levels of care.Objectives/Methods. Improve accessibility of trauma record by implementing a software that can: Be used on a portable hand held device. Assist with data visualization and real time tracking. Prompt clinical practice guideline compliance. Provide coding/grading of injuries relevant to the NTDB. Export record in searchable PDF that can be uploaded to HER. Sync with prehospital record for comprehensive record. Conduct a head to head comparison of electronic documentation versus handwritten documentation to assess fidelity for: time accuracy, data completeness, usability, faster access, success of record capture and efficiency of registry data point capture.
