Credit
ATS CEU:1.0
Description
When providing care to the community as a trauma center, it is important resources are utilized appropriately. For this reason, the Rapid Trauma Evaluation (RTE) was developed as a nurse-driven trauma evaluation process for EMS patients that did not initially meet trauma criteria, but were still at risk for deterioration.
Rapid Trauma Evaluation allows for identification of high-risk patients, streamlined and expedited evaluation and care of patients utilizing current trauma bays and efficient disposition of trauma patients. This nurse-led initiative improved the quality of care provided to trauma patients and can be expanded to meet the ever-changing needs of the emergency department.
