UPMC Hamot 2022 Trauma & Emergency Medicine Conference
Join your colleagues and gain the latest updates in trauma and emergency medicine!
Need
Research and evidence often surpass current practice standards; therefore, health care providers must be able to assess and implement improved patient care in advance of published standards. As new trends emerge, it is the responsibility of health care providers to facilitate implementation of practice change to incorporate emerging technologies and adapt to changing practice environments. Standardization of care in tertiary and regional emergency centers is a crucial factor in providing consistent, high-quality care to the regional community.
Goal
This activity has been designed to increase the participant’s critical thinking and knowledge of some common and not-so-common challenges in trauma and emergency medicine. Specific topics were selected based on challenges faced almost daily in trauma and emergency patient care, as well as ongoing and emerging health care concerns and trends. Ample time for questions and answers has been built in to each presentation. Audience members will also have the opportunity to speak one-on-one with presenters during refreshment breaks and lunch.
