Description

Trauma bays are a place in which the importance of teamwork and communication play an integral role in patient outcomes. Effective teamwork ensures that each team member plays their designated role with precision and contributes to the overall effort of stabilizing and treating trauma patients. Due to the large draw of resources to a small area (the trauma bay) the area can become crowded, and roles of each person become blurred or redundant. The aim of this project was to determine if personnel identification with colored caps improved communication and trauma bay crowd control.
