10 SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY HEALTH AGENCY Public Health Department Emergency Medical Services Agency 2156 Sierra Way, San Luis Obispo, CA FAX OPERATIONS COMMITTEE MEETING DATE August 7, 2014 STAFF CONTACT Kathy Collins, Specialty Care Systems Coordinator, SUBJECT SUMMARY REVIEWED BY RECOMMENDED ACTION(S) Policy 153 Trauma Triage and Destination Triage Guideline Modification The current SLO County triage guideline for Step 2 Mechanism of Injury for patients with significant injuries is inconsistent with neighboring counties and CDC recommendations. Two proximal long bone fractures Crushed, de-gloved, mangled or pulseless extremity Amputation proximal to the wrist or ankle Pelvic instability/fractures In 2009, the State EMS Authority approved the SLO County Trauma Plan with direction that a QI process would review criteria that were inconsistent with the CDC recommendations. A review of the 2013 data for two long bone fractures looked at over 81,000 ED encounters and identified 11 (less the 0.01%) patients with the diagnosis of two or more proximal long bone fracture. The cases at the nontrauma centers were noted to be the result of low mechanism of injury or non-trauma related with occult findings. Additionally, the Sate EMS Authority and the Tri-County Trauma Advisory Committee (TAC) will be utilizing the CDC guidelines for data collection and quality improvement purposes. The State EMS Authority Core Measure summary for 2013 noted a future requirement that the trauma measures utilize the CDC guidelines to improve consistency. The Tri County TAC agreed to the development of performance dashboard utilizing the CDC guidelines as the markers (attached). Based on discussion at the last Trauma Advisory Committee meeting (5/7/14), EMS Agency staff followed up with the non-trauma centers to solicit comments and data related to this item. The findings are included in the 2013 summary, and the correspondence will be made available for review at the 8/6/14 TAC meeting. Clinical Advisory - recommended the addition Trauma Advisory Committee EMS Staff Thomas Ronay, MD, SLO County Medical Director Steve Lieberman, EMS Division Director Sierra Vista Trauma Advisory Staff is recommending two proximal long bone fractures be added to Step 2 ATTACHMENT(S) Policy 153 trauma triage and destination matrix Summary of 2013 Emergency Department Encounters EMS Authority Core Measures page 15 Tri- County Dash Board Correspondence Trauma Triage Feedback K:\PublicData\COMMITTEES\Operations Subcommittee\2014\ \Trauma\Long Bone TAC Staff Report docx
