I would highly recommend you involve the leadership of your trauma
medical director and the ED medical director. Handle at a physician peer
level.
Good Luck

Hi all,
I need help. I have an ongoing issue with physician PI. We are a level
III
center. The issue is I have 19 - 22 ED physicians in their group. I
have a
problem - for example not documenting Parkland's formla on a burn
patient. I
presented this same issue last year to 4 different ED Physicians at
different times through out the year. I also presented it at Trauma
Committee, ED Section meeting, GVT section meeting and then I followed
up by
printing the CE course and test from the ABA web site "The challenges
of
children: the first 48 hours" and put a copy in everyone's (nurse and
physician's box) in the ED. For nursing it was a mandatory test and I
got
back about 1/4 of the them.
Well this past week we had the same issue - different MD. HOW DO I GET
THE
MESSAGE ACROSS TO ALL OF THEM AT ONCE? I don't want to make this same
mistake 19 - 22 times before they all get it. With physician PI it is
behind
closed doors, and a single physician is accountable / or not - how can
I
make them all get it so we stop this stupid trend?
Thanks
