Abstract

Pediatric trauma is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in children in the USA. Several clinical teams converge to support trauma care in the Emergency Department (ED); the most severe trauma cases often need surgery in the operating room (OR) and/or are admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). These care transitions can result in loss of information or transfer of incorrect information, We interviewed 18 clinicians about communication and coordination during care transitions between the ED, OR and PICU. Clinicians completed a short questionnaire about patient safety during transitions. Results show that, although many services and units involved in pediatric trauma work well together, important patient care information may be lost in the transitions. To safely manage transitions of this fragile, unstable, complex population, we need to better manage the information flow during these transitions.
