Schedule At-A-Glance

Trauma Outcomes and Performance Improvement Course (TOPIC)

7:45 AM – 4:30 PM

Faculty: Kathleen D. Martin, MSN, RN, CCRN TOPIC Committee Chair

Heidi Hotz, RNTrauma Program ManagerCedars-Sinai Medical CenterLos Angeles, CA

The American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma (ACS-COT) and the Society of Trauma Nurses (STN) have partnered to develop the Optimal Trauma Center Organization & Management Course.

Both physicians and nurses teach this collaborative course. Its goal is to enhance trauma center performance and to improve patient care through implementation of the ACS COT Trauma Center Standards.

Whether yours is a mature verified center or a hospital preparing for designation, this course is designed to help participants develop strategies, processes, and operations to support trauma systems, based on their unique environments. It is designed to help you take your trauma center to the next level, beyond verification or designation. The nuances of implementing or improving upon trauma center criteria within the structure of your specific facility will be reviewed in an interactive forum. The course will assist Trauma Medical Directors, Trauma Program Managers/Coordinators, Administrators, Trauma Registrars, State/Region personnel and other disciplines involved in trauma.

TOPIC is a one-day course that was developed by a seasoned group of trauma leaders, to assist participants with the Performance Improvement (PI) process in trauma care.

TOPIC focuses on skill development for trauma program staff who are involved in the ongoing evaluation of trauma care across the continuum. It offers concrete strategies for the monitoring with data driven evaluation of trauma care, loop closure, and patient outcomes. The course provides practical lessons for all levels of trauma centers, from entry level to those who have achieved a mature phase of program development.

It consists of 8 modules in PI and outcomes assessment, and will introduce taxonomy terminology and categories applications. The course also includes various case vignettes in interactive group forums for application of the PI process, sample documents, and templates. TOPIC can now be co-taught by both nurse and physician faculty.

7:00 AM – 5:30 PM Conference Registration Open Note: Register early - Space is limited and separate registration fees for each session apply. For the TOPIC course and the Optimal Trauma Center Organization course, registration includes course materials, continental breakfast, lunch, and afternoon break. For the half-day pre-conferences (in the afternoon), registration includes course materials and an afternoon break.

Wednesday, April 3, 2013: PRE-CONFERENCE SESSIONS continued

This is an essential course for regional trauma centers who support rural programs or those who work within rural trauma centers, where trauma volumes are low, distances long, and resources can be scare. Rural regions house only 25% of the U.S. population, but have 60% of the trauma deaths. This course has been designed to help rural facilities achieve optimal outcomes through improved performance improvement. These 3 speakers bring significant experience with rural trauma.

Agenda:• Challenges for Rural Trauma

This is a time of great concern about violent behavior and bullying among our youth. The care of these children can be complex and requires skill and coordination for best outcomes. The speakers will address issues in the assessment of the pediatric trauma patient who has experienced a violent situation, including those with penetrating trauma, bullying, and teen domestic violence. They will also address violence prevention and what programs seem to be working. The session will wrap up with a discussion of interesting cases.

PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS AND ANNUAL MEETING

Karen Doyle, MBA, MS, RN, NEA-BCSTN 2013 President VP Nursing & OperationsR Adams Cowley Shock Trauma CenterUniversity of Maryland Medical CenterBaltimore, MD

Trauma in general – and violent trauma in particular - is now recognized as a costly public health problem, but just 30 years ago the words “violence” and “health” were rarely used in the same sentence. Today, the public health approach to trauma and violence includes understanding background, frequencies, prevention, as well as the implementation of effective policies and programs. During this plenary session, two trauma experts explore the role of injury as a global health problem as well as society’s response to violence.

Your challenge starts here, with the Annual Meeting and President’s Address. Our incoming STN President, Karen Doyle, will give an update of STN activities, introduce the Board of Directors, present the annual STN Awards, and discuss what it means to be an active member. She will also discuss how trauma nurses are responding to societal violence and give some take home strategies.

7:00 AM – 8:00 AM Moderator: Judy Mikhail, RN, MSN, MBA

Faculty:Heidi Hotz, RNTrauma Program ManagerCedars-Sinai Medical CenterLos Angeles, CA

Trauma resuscitation represents a keystone of trauma care: The how’s and why’s of what we do, and when we do it are ongoing areas of discussion and research. In this session, three speakers address controversial resuscitation issues, such as field hypotension and other trauma activation criteria, videotaping trauma resuscitations, and permissive hypotension.

The Trauma Quality Improvement Program (TQIP) provides trauma centers with risk-adjusted benchmarking that allows them to track outcomes and improve care. TQIP is built on the backbone of the National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB), and it represents an investment in resources and time for trauma centers. Many trauma centers have asked, “Why should my trauma center invest in this information? Is it worth it?” Heidi Hotz answers these questions from the perspective of both a trauma program manager and a TQIP trainer. This session is open to all who have registered for the full conference.

Dorrie K. Fontaine, RN, PhD, FAANDean, School of NursingUniversity of Virginia Medical CenterCharlottesville, VA

The Society of Trauma Nurses is pleased to announce Dorrie K. Fontaine, RN, PhD, FAAN as the recipient of the 2013 Distinguished Lectureship Award. Dr. Fontaine’s contributions to trauma nursing and to nursing in general are vast and worthy of many commendations. She has her roots in trauma nursing and spent five

years as a staff nurse at the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center at the University of Maryland Medical Center. Dr. Fontaine has also been a Trauma Contributing Editor to Critical Care Nurse and she is the co-author of the grant that funded the Trauma/ Critical Care master’s program at the University of Maryland School of Nursing, which began in 1982. Dr. Fontaine’s leading research and seminal nursing work on sleep, “Sleep in the Critically Ill Patient,” was conducted in a trauma setting. She has also conducted research on family presence at the end of life, which many of us have implemented at our bedsides.

Dr. Fontaine received her BSN from Villanova University, a master’s degree from the University of Maryland, and her PhD from the Catholic University of America in Washington, DC. In 2006, she completed a Management and Leadership in Education Program at the Harvard Graduate Institute of Higher Education. Currently, Dr. Fontaine is the dean of the University of Virginia School of Nursing. Her primary focus has been in promoting healthy workplace environments, building more inter-professional collaborations, and increasing diversity in both the faculty and student populations.

We all have these nagging trauma problems that continue to plague us, and are detrimental to our patients’ care and to our co-workers. How do we resolve them? This session covers three persistent issues familiar to all of us: Preserving the chain of evidence – how do you do this in the middle of saving a life? Delirium and the trauma patient – is the cause environmental, pharmaceutical, psychosocial, or some aspect of the injury itself? The value of debriefing after a emotionally wrenching event – why is this so important? These answers and more will be presented during this session.
