The Trauma Tools collection lists materials that are helpful in organizing and facilitating the clinical practice of Trauma, Surgical Critical Care and Acute Care Surgery. These include clinical materials such as order sets, templates for admission history and physical notes, progress notes, ICU notes and procedure notes. The collection also includes Administrative and Educational Tools for a variety of uses. Our users are encouraged to download any of the material in this collection for their use and to submit their contributions for possible inclusion and dissemination.
To submit information, please email Sharon Gautschy. Include a description of the resource and the category under which it should be listed.
