Preparing for hospital site review for trauma center designation: a survey of nurse evaluators.

Abstract:

:Trauma nurse experts often are included on the professional teams who survey hospitals for trauma center designation. Evaluation of trauma nursing care includes interviews with staff and review of policies, procedures, and other documents. Medical records are reviewed to validate the verbal reports and examine compliance with protocols. Nursing often provides the "glue" for the system, which integrates medicine, ancillary departments, and administration. Hospitals may use the information gleaned from trauma nurse surveyors to prepare their personnel for a trauma site review.
