Translation, Implementation, and Evaluation of Best-Practice Burn First Aid in Prolonged Field Care and Prehospital Environments
Abstract
This research period covers the preparatory phase of the project. During this period the focus has been on reviewing and signing subaward contracts with participating partners; developing the research protocol; obtaining all relevant regulatory approvals; identifying, approaching, and engaging key emergency services; strategy development; and preparing support materials, like interview scripts and SOPs. The contracts have been reviewed, approved and signed; a final research protocol was developed; all regulatory approvals (IRB and HRPO) were obtained as per October 2022. A significant roadblock was encountered within Orange County, where a key decision maker could not be convinced of the intervention and no endorsement was provided. An alternative has been proposed to the DoD that adds the Emergency Department in Sacramento County to the previous pre-hospital component. Key emergency services from Sacramento County were engaged and an Australian site visit has been planned for October 2022; strategy development has been ongoing; and supporting implementation materials and documents have been developed. The Australian site visit will provide dynamic interdisciplinary and integrated care delivery experience and evidence to confidently start phase 2 of the project upon their return to the US.
