Electronic Trauma Resuscitation Documentation Using T6 Health Systems Mobile Application
Abstract
The current trauma resuscitation documentation and data collection process in-theater is very similar to the process in-garrison. A 4-page paper form (trauma resuscitation record) is utilized to document patient care and is hand-written by healthcare teams. The Joint Trauma System's DoD Trauma Registry struggles with data capture since much of it relies on handwritten documents and from memory during trauma events that must be scanned to be trackable/viewable by registry personnel. Unfortunately, there are many flaws in today's healthcare environment with a pen and paper system of documentation; much of the paper documentation comes up missing, is not legible, and in theater, many pieces of the patients record remains behind in theater, never making it to the central data repository (CDR) due to the nature of traumatic events under duress in a war zone. The T6 Health System mobile device application is a high resolution, digital documentation system, that is a multi-dimensional data and point-of-care analytics system that opens up the possibility of precision and predictive trauma care to theater if we are able to explore the feasibility of using this technology in routine care of trauma patients, mass casualty situations, point of injury and enroute care. A follow-on analysis of the system after in-theater trial will allow assess the usability and functionality of the application through the continuum of care involving all potential end-users and stakeholders to determine logistical and technical feasibility.
