| Popis: | UNLABELLED Systems for prehospital care, emergency medical care, and trauma care clearly overlap educationally, medically, financially, and politically. Most systems have not accomplished separation of this interdisciplinary tangle. To solve this dilemma we have customized an Emergency Medicine and Trauma Service (EM & TS) at a regional trauma medical center. The program (annually): 1)treats 32,000 patients (11,330 are trauma); 2) educates 140 paramedics, residents, students. Physician personnel: Members are fully trained in Internal Medicine, Surgery, or Pediatrics; are members of other academic departments. Each is approved by three chairman: Emergency Department, The physician's specialty, and Surgery, Structure: Board-qualified trauma surgeon always present; other faculty supplement surgical manpower; physicians are salaried; each is responsible to Director of EM & TS; trainees are not included as patient-care manpower. Organization: Academically, EM & TS is a Section of the Department of Surgery; the Section Chief is Director of EM & TS, and is responsible for Emergency Department, prehospital care, and trauma admissions. THE SOLUTION A vertical responsibility structure to this multidisciplinary system has provided a successful solution and may be tailored to other systems. |
