ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on improving the care that patients receive after experiencing a trauma injury. In Canada, injuries lead to a significant number of health problems and costs, and many patients don’t receive the best possible care when hospitalized. The trial aims to reduce unnecessary tests and procedures that do not provide real benefits to patients, which can cause harm and waste healthcare resources. By examining ways to avoid these low-value practices, the researchers hope to make trauma care more efficient and effective, ultimately benefiting patients and the healthcare system as a whole.

To participate in this trial, you would need to be treated at certain trauma centers in the province of Québec that handle a high volume of patients. The study is open to all adults, but it excludes smaller centers that may not see enough trauma cases. If you are eligible and choose to participate, you can expect to be part of a project that seeks to improve trauma care, making it safer and more resource-efficient for everyone involved.
