Towards An Efficient Method for Studying Collaborative Practices Of Emergency Care Teams
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents our approach to studying collaborative practices of trauma teams during trauma resuscitation, a fastpaced and information-laden process of evaluating critically injured patients early after injury. We conducted a series of studies in a Level 1 trauma center using field observations and video recording. Our ability to use video recording was limited since human subject protections required destruction of video records within 96 hours. We describe our experiences of using video recording and summarize a method that we have developed to overcome this research limitation.
