| Core Tip |
Based on our findings, we have made several recommendations that we will adopt locally going forward. We encourage other teams facing similar challenges to consider these factors to improve the care of trauma patients: (1) Dynamic elective approaches to care can reduce length of stay (LOS): The ‘elective mindset’ of the elective hospital nursing/physical therapy/occupational therapy teams yielded more expeditious post-operative rehabilitation our trauma patients, ensuring faster optimisation of a more co-morbid cohort of patients and reduced LOS; (2) Sustain the rising trend in safe non-operative management to reduce inpatient workload: This was a trend particularly observed in hand and wrist/foot and ankle trauma where the care pathways were altered in the face of rising coronavirus disease 2019 cases; and (3) Maintaining rapid re-education of skills: By rapidly adopting locally-relevant versions of national guidance and developing standardised algorithms and training pathways. |
