The primary study objective was to demonstrate a reduction in management errors using a real-time computer based algorithm (the study group) compared to the control group in an open randomised controlled interventional study. A baseline control group was also used for comparison with usual (current) practice. In order to examine the existing evidence and algorithms in trauma care, nine teams of emergency nurses and doctors were formed. Specific literature searches performed by each team revealed a paucity of evidence supporting clinical practice in the trauma setting for procedures. Subsequently, the multidisciplinary teams worked together and developed algorithms based on best practice. The process revealed three main areas of challenges in the development of algorithms: (i) clinical, (ii) research and (iii) nursing challenges. The completion of the project demonstrated benefits in the real-time computer based algorithm with a reduction in the error rate per patient from the baseline control group to the intervention study group (2.30 vs. 2.13, p =0.04) and error-free resuscitations increasing from 16% to 21.8% (p =.049). This project supported the implementation of a real-time computer based algorithm system with improved protocol compliance and reduced errors and morbidity. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: pictorial research tables/charts randomized controlled trial Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
