PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The Health Emergency Management Seminar - Trauma Management for Rural EMS And Community Hospitals (T-REACH) is designed to better prepare hospital and non-hospital response partners in planning, mitigating, responding to and recovering from natural and man-made disasters that impact the delivery of health care in a community or impact the environment of care for responders. The goal of the 2023 virtual seminar is to enhance the skills and knowledge of providers in the rural setting in the management of multi-injured patients and to understand the importance of working as a team of professionals in caring for patients with life-threatening traumatic injuries. Relevant information and stimulated discussions will focus on best practices in the management of trauma/disaster patients.

PROGRAM OBJECTIVES

Based on presentations, participants will be able to:

  • Discuss interventions appropriate to treat hemorrhage, burn and/or shock prior to arrival at a trauma center.
  • Identify which patients require trauma center management and prepare rural communities for the appropriate care and transfer of the injured patient.
  • Develop an awareness on the management and care of critically injured patients in the setting of limited resources.

TARGET AUDIENCE

Healthcare professionals (MD/DO, PA, NP, RN, EMS providers and other allied medical professionals) in rural settings caring for trauma patients (ED, Acute Floor, ICU and EMS) in New York State.

AGENDA - PRESENTATIONS/SPEAKERS/BIOS

The virtual seminar will occur on April 25 & 26, 2023 from 8:30am - 12:00pm.  Each day will include three 1hr presentations.  Registrants can select to attend one or both days.
