The Trauma App was designed and developed nationally in collaboration with the four major trauma centres in NHS Scotland together with Daysix, a digital agency based in Edinburgh.
Have a read below to find out why the Trauma App was built and who was involved.
Trauma remains the fourth leading cause of death in western countries, causing significant economic, social and environmental impact on government and society. It is the leading cause of death for people under 40. The Advanced Trauma Life Support protocol (ATLS) is a standardised approach to trauma and used globally, however unacceptable levels of variation in care still exist.
Internationally, Emergency Departments are challenged by crowding, rising demand and increasingly complex patients. There is a great opportunity for innovative digital tools which offer support to clinicians to be implemented in trauma and cause step change to standards of care, reduce cost and variation, and improve patients quality of life.
The Trauma App is a robust digital solution, the result of a four year co-design and development process with trauma consultants and scribes across the four Major Trauma Centres in Scotland, with additional oversight from England, Wales and the US. It integrates seamlessly into existing clinical practice, with scribes switching from paper to an iPad.
The development of The Trauma App has been driven by the development of the Scottish Trauma Network (STN) and in partnership with Daysix, a software development agency based in Scotland. STN seeks to redesign care to improve patient outcomes by delivery of integrated, multi-speciality care to the severely injured.
Developed nationally in collaboration with the four major trauma centres in NHS Scotland UK, the Trauma App is an intuitive iPad application, improving care through rapid digital capture of major trauma case data with real-time ease, seamless integration, and automated reporting.
