Institution
Does your institution have a mechanism available to minimize doing trauma cases after hours?
Yes
No
After Hours Trauma Converage:
Provide details/description about your program to address this metric.
Example Responses: In order to satisfy the metric, the institution must have a written policy to allow ortho trauma cases to be performed during regular hours. * This could be accomplished by having a dedicated orthopaedic trauma room, a trauma room open to all services, or having a "bump room," which would be a room with scheduled cases that could be bumped to allow a first start for ortho trauma cases. *As part of verification of OR availability, an institution should provide data on the percentage of isolated femur fractures treated within 24 hours and type III supracondylar humerus fractures treated within 18 hours. At least 75% of these two injuries should be managed within this time frame.
Does your institution have a system in place to manage patients with dysvascular limbs and manage patients with complicated polytrauma?
Yes
No
Vascular Injuries and Complicated Polytrauma:
Provide details/description about your program to address this metric.
Example Response: In order to satisfy this metric, the institution must have vascular surgery and endovascular availability or alternatively, institutions must have written transfer agreements with institutions with vascular surgery and endovascular capabilities. Similarly, institutions must have care pathways and protocols for patients with polytrauma, penetrating injuries, and pelvic/acetabular injuries, or alternatively, institutions must have written transfer agreements with other institutions.
Does your institution have a system in place to collect complications, review them, and discuss how to improve when applicable?
Yes
No
Complications:
Provide details/description about your program to address this metric.
Example Response: This metric may be satisfied by a standard institutional morbidity and mortality conference which regularly includes orthopaedic trauma complications and is attended by at least half of the surgeons who take orthopaedic trauma call at an institution at least half of the time. Credit may also be given for conferences that review all operative trauma cases on a regular basis such as an indications conference or a performance improvement meeting.
Does your institution require verification of trauma-specific CME for those taking orthopaedic trauma call?
Yes
No
Trauma-specific CME:
Provide details/description about your program to address this metric.
Example Responses: *In order to satisfy this metric, at least one member of the pediatric orthopaedic call pool must obtain a minimum of 36 hours of verifiable trauma-related continuing medical education (CME) over a 3-year period. *Documentation of CME requirements can be provided.
Do you have an antibotic protocol in place for open fracture management?
Yes
No
Antibotic Protocols:
Provide details/description about your program to address this metric.
Examples: *Provide details of your institutions Open Fracture Treatment Policy for pediatric trauma. *Education (CME) over a three (3) year period. *Documentation of CME requirements can be provided.
Provide details about the percentage of open fracture patients that received IBV antibiotics within one hour of presentation.
