Educational Need

The Joint Commission has deemed communication and lack of collaboration as important causes of medical errors. Therefore, improving communication is included in The Joint Commission Patient Safety Goals to create a safer practice environment for patients and providers. In the trauma setting, the intense transition from pre-hospital care provided by Emergency Medical Services (EMS) to the emergency department provides a prime opportunity for communication failures and medical errors. Healthcare providers must understand the overall command structure in these situations and be able to determine how and where they fit in relation to other patient care team members. Effective interprofessional collaboration and understanding how pre-hospital care contributes to the overall care plan are critical to improving patient safety and health outcomes.

Target Audience

DMU faculty, staff, students, residents, and the medical community.

Objectives

  • Differentiate between the levels of EMS providers and where they fit into the overall care plan of a patient.
  • Discuss case details to evaluate the evolution of a 911 call.
  • Define Multi Casualty Incident (MCI).
  • Explain Incident Command Structure (ICS).
  • Describe moral injury.
