The Trauma Program here at Penn State-Hershey sends out a letter to the
agencies with a diagnosis, outcome (vent days, days in ICU) and date
discharged.
There is a contact number given for providers/agencies to contact if
they have any further questions or if they want to discuss the case.
Hope this helps.

      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.

  No Level I studies. This is the only MA that is specific to
critically 
ill pts. The full manuscript was recently accepted in Intensive Care 
Medicine, and should be released on-line soon.
