Utilization of Palliative Medicine Consult in Geriatric Trauma Care

Dear AAST Member,

We all want the absolute best for our patients and numerous studies indicate that involving palliative care consultation early in the treatment of geriatric trauma patients is beneficial. However, palliative care consultation may be underutilized in this population for a variety of reasons.

Please participate in a survey we are conducting to gain insight into the obstacles trauma surgeons face when trying to consult palliative services. The results of this survey will lay the groundwork for practical systemic improvement, as suggested by the trauma surgeons using these systems, to eventually allow for increased access to palliative care in a population that would greatly benefit. This 8-minute survey is completely voluntary. All survey results are anonymous.

How to Survey the AAST Membership

Survey Design and Reporting: To uphold survey standards and the likelihood of peer-reviewed publication, we now require that surveys are designed in keeping with the EQUATOR CHERRIES Checklist. The submissions system has been designed with this in mind. The CHERRIES Checklist is open access and can be found here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15471760/

Submission Deadlines: Ten survey applications are accepted each quarter, considered on a first-come-first-serve basis. The deadlines for quarterly review are the 15th of January/April/July/October. Surveys submitted outside of the first 10 applications will be rolled over to the next quarter. Survey authors will be updated on the status of their submissions by the subcommittee.

Survey Review and Selection Process: To minimize survey fatigue, we aim to circulate 6 surveys a year. All submitted survey applications will be reviewed using a standardized scoring process by the Surveys Subcommittee. The top scoring survey will be selected for publication. Surveys not selected in a given quarter maybe 1) held for publication the following cycle, 2) returned for revision, or 3) declined. Authors will be updated on the status of their survey with feedback.

Survey Publication Timeline: Selected surveys will be published during the corresponding quarter on the first Monday of March/June/September/December.

Additional Notes:

Survey recruitments are sent as separate emails two weeks apart (a total of two emails) and embedded in the weekly/monthly newsletter.

The survey will be featured on this page until the end of the recruitment period requested by the primary investigator.

Surveys created by the AAST Committees and the Board of Managers will be given priority.
