Our Approach |
|
|
With our transport team and expert care, Children's Hospital Boston brings the same level of excellence to trauma care as it does to all of its specialties and research fields. But our involvement with traumatic injury begins long before the arrival of critical care personnel on the scene. It starts with an ongoing initiative to teach parents and kids the best ways to prevent injury, and continues with leading-edge research until patients have achieved their maximum long-term recovery. As with many of our clinical practice areas, our approach takes place along a continuum of education, prevention, access, care and improvement.

|
Our comprehensive Trauma Program is guided by the following seven-fold mission:
|
|
|
- Deliver the best patient care available.
- Enhance family satisfaction, education and resources.
- Promote research, education and prevention in pediatric trauma.
- Accept all referral of injured children through twenty-one years of age.
- Provide educational opportunities for nurses, pre-hospital providers and physicians on pediatric trauma and related issues.
- Collaborate with the hospital, EMS and community outreach in assisting with Injury Prevention Programs, Health Fairs and other community prevention related activities.
- Provide patient follow-up for referring institutions on and off site.
