Annual Paediatric Trauma Seminar
On 27 May, ITIM held the Annual Paediatric Trauma Seminar, in collaboration with the Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network trauma services. The event was attended by Sydney-based clinicians from a range of disciplines, and also livestreamed to more than 150 more virtual attendees. Watch videos from the event on the ITIM website.
Workshops
ITIM held workshops with the trauma Patient Reported Measures Program pilot sites: Liverpool, Royal Prince Alfred and Wagga Wagga hospitals. The workshops are part of the ongoing preparation to transition to the statewide platform, Health Outcomes and Patient Experience (HOPE).
The three sites plan to go live in July. Three trauma service sites will then be onboarded to HOPE each quarter. Trauma PRMs is a priority program and will provide valuable insight into the outcomes of trauma patients in NSW.
