Nursing in-services
We keep a number of trauma packets
for "unidentified male" and "unidentified female". Each
of these charts has a pre-assigned number. We use this number to draw
labs, x-rays, etc. As soon as we identify the patient, we enter it into
the system and print an updated face sheet. The number stays the same
throughout the hospitalization. At discharge, if the patient has a
previous number, the trauma number is changed in the system to match to
original number and to keep medical records together.
