Study Details

The research surrounding best practice guidelines of geriatric trauma patients in the inpatient setting is broad. Furthermore, the comprehensiveness of research programs varies based on individual hospital resource capacity. American College of Surgeons Trauma Quality Improvement Program (ACS TQIP) Geriatric Trauma Management Guidelines1 details a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to inpatient management; however, guideline effectiveness is diminished as many hospitals may implement a version of the guidelines limited by staffing, ancillary services, and resource capacity, among other variables.
