Jane,

We do one on every patient admitted to our facility with a trauma-related ICD-9 code, regardless of which service the patient is admitted to.  They are done 24 hours after admission to the floor, or on transfer from the ICU to the floor, and are done by the resident or PA on call that day.

Happy Holidays and best wishes to you all,
Ron

Are any of your facilities routinely using tertiary surveys to detect
missed injury?   If so, who is performing them?

Thanx

Jane
