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.
