Translating Military Simulation-Based Trauma Team Research Into Outcomes: LEADing Effective Resuscitations (LEADER)
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The overall objective of the proposed project is to improve trauma outcomes by developing, testing, and refining a simulation-based translational research model that can support highly effective trauma team leadership training and assessment across multiple outcome levels. SPECIFIC AIMS: TRANSfeR Model Development: Develop a prototype of a translational simulation research model, TRANSfeR, whichintegrates task requirements, training elements, and outcomes. TRANSfeR Model Validation: Assess the effect of a simulation-based LEADER training bundle on simulation-based skills (T1), clinical processes and performance (T2) and patient outcomes (T3) TRANSfeR Model Refinement: Refine the TRANSfeR model using study data to reflect relationships between training, performance, and outcomes and prepare a protocol to conduct a large-scale, multicenter trial that is adequately powered to detect differences in clinically important outcomes. MAJOR FINDINGS: The investigators performed a four-step process to develop the TRANSfeR model. This work involved integrating conceptual framework(s) of translational research, simulation-based education, team science, and educational transfer. We (1) identified the core task components, training objectives, training design elements, and performance constructs relevant to the proposed training domain, (2) determined relevant variables and relationships, (3) identified appropriate outcome measures and analytic approaches, and (4) determined pathways for training refinement. Dissemination in the form of a manuscript is in progress. Validation of the TRANSfeR model is the focus of project year 2. We will apply the model to trauma team leadership training (LEADER) and performance to determine the link between trained leadership behaviors and patient care during trauma resuscitations.
