I might be a bit old fashioned, but to me, that's the job of the medical  
director working with the unit's CQI program...
 
of course, that also means that you have to have an ACTIVE Medical Director 
 and CQI program...that actively oversee the quality of care. 
 
doing it that way also has the stamp of approval of the folks running HIPAA 
 and the various privacy programs.

Does  anyone have any current process in place for pre-hospital providers 
to follow  up on trauma patients that were cared for in the field. What are / 
may be the  issues that would have to be considered (including hippa) How 
do you would you  structure this program. This would be intended for QA / QI 
and to give  feedback to EMS providers primarily. What are the unintended  
consequences?  What should be included in the feedback as a learning tool  v 
just telling what the patients injuries were. 

Shock Trauma - R  Adams... had one years ago  before 1999 that would allow 
EMS to querry  what happened to their patient whenafter transported. While 
pretty basic in  informationI thought it was helpful in the couple times I 
filled out the form  and allowed me to reflect on my treatment...  email me 
directly or place  comments on list. Thanks.
