Summary

This study aims to see if updated criteria for activating trauma teams can reduce mistakes—either calling a team when not needed (over-triage) or missing a serious case (under-triage). Researchers will compare data from 5,000 trauma patients before and after the new rules were put in place. The goal is to improve emergency care and make sure the sickest patients get rapid, appropriate treatment.

What could go wrong: This is an observational study comparing before-and-after data, not a controlled trial. Results may be influenced by other changes in the hospital over time.
