Teamwork and Care Transitions in Pediatric Trauma Understanding Clinical Information Needs and Health Care Decision Making Processes in the Context of Health Information

Overview: Ineffective care transitions and handoffs between different units in a hospital can pose significant risks to patient safety, and result in poor clinical and financial outcomes; this is especially true for pediatric trauma care transitions that often take place under high-stress and time-pressure. This proposal is aimed at developing a deep and broad understanding of the cognitive work of clinician teams and family members involved in pediatric trauma care transitions in order to design usable and useful health information technologies. The results of our research will aid in producing innovative concepts, tools, and methods needed for the next generation of information technology-supported work systems that provide integrated, seamless, safe, and patient and family-centered care.

Aims:

– to describe cognitive teamwork involved in care transitions of pediatric trauma patients.

– to develop and test design requirements for future HIT, referred to as the team-centric information technology (TACIT), that supports cognitive teamwork for enhancing safety, quality, and family-centeredness of care.
