Description
The American Trauma Society presented a Trauma Program Management Webinar on January 31, 2024 at 1:00pm - 2:00pm ET - "Breaking Barriers: Building a Successful Trauma Program in a Rural Setting."
Breaking Barriers: Building a Successful Trauma Program in a Rural Setting
Individuals who sustain injuries in rural settings face an increased risk of mortality compared to their urban counterparts. The challenges associated with traumatic injuries in rural areas often revolve around the considerable distance to accessible care.
In this webinar, Jamin Rankin will explore the establishment of a Level III Trauma Program within a rural community that requires a journey of over 100 miles to reach the nearest trauma center. Our discussion will encompass the program's inception, covering the formulation of policies, procedures, clinical practice guidelines, and more. Additionally, we will delve into the trajectory of the program, highlighting the steps taken to achieve American College of Surgeons verification in a remarkable timeframe of less than 2.5 years.
