Description

Summary

The study team will use implementation science to accelerate the uptake of teleconsultationfor burn patients by 1) examining the relationships between clinician perceptions of acceptability, feasibility, intention to use, and actual use of burn teleconsultation 2) identifying the optimal process for burn teleconsultation and the barriers and facilitators for its use during a crisis or prolonged care situation, and 3) designing and testing the effectiveness of a specific, tailored burn teleconsultation toolkit intervention to increase burn teleconsultation use.

Official Title

THE Actuate-CBC Study: Accelerating the Uptake of Telemedicine for Crisis Burn Care

Details

The principal investigator's central hypothesis is that a tailored implementation intervention (toolkit) that integrates the known advantages of using telemedicine for burn consultation with new knowledge regarding clinician perceptions and the setting in which they work will improve the feasibility, acceptance, intention to use, and uptake of burn teleconsultation. The implementation intervention will enable rapid burn teleconsultation implementation under crisis circumstances and assist clinicians to virtually connect the person caring for a burn patient anywhere to the entire burn team's expertise. The study results will lead to more robust national crisis, wartime, and disaster response plans, improve quality of burn care, and decrease morbidity and mortality from serious burn injury, regardless of injury location.
