Lots of discussion #ICEM2026 about digital and AI, but all seems confused by lack of a structure to underpin the discussion.
This is my first go at a structure following the sessions.
What do you think?

Looking forwards to presenting this webinar.

Quality Improvement in trauma treatment is a challenge:
The disease is changing with our ageing population. Changing prehospital technology alters patient presentation. New mechanisms of injury.
How should national clinical audit respond? Great looking session.

Older trauma - is it a different disease?
Aetiology - different.
Physiology - different
Clinical presentation- different
Interventions required - different
Staff required - different

We should probably think of two linked trauma systems rather than one size fits all.

Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery Verified account @JTraumAcuteSurg Oct 12

This study suggests that certain groups of older trauma patients treated at Level 3 centers may have equivalent survival to those treated at Level 1 trauma centers, while younger patients experience higher survival for nearly all injuries at Level 1 centers.

Brilliant article in @RoySocMed journal on fragmentation of care.
Really hits the nail.
If you don’t read whole article just look at Table 1 - which summarises the cycle of fragmented care.
Applies just as much to hospitals as to primary care.
