Study Summary
The care of patients with sepsis and trauma requires the delivery of appropriate definitive care in the early stages of the illness. Hospitals with limited resources, those in rural and underserved areas of South Carolina, may be unable to consistently provide optimal care to these patients. In addition, the shortage of specialists nationally makes it more difficult for these hospitals to recruit and retain the specialists needed. Patients in these areas continue to pay the rural penalty of poorer outcomes. This study provides specialists' level care through telemedicine consults to rural emergency departments in rural areas of SC to improve outcomes for these patients. The CREST study is a project that specifically addresses the need to bring health care to rural communities in SC, as well as evaluates methods and tests technology to implement this care in rural communities. The CREST study uses telemedicine remotely from MUSC to rural community hospitals to provide rural community physicians care from specialists for trauma and sepsis, which are both high acuity, difficult to treat conditions. CREST is a multi-site trial of telemedicine services to meet rural patients' and providers' need for expert evaluation and management of sepsis and trauma. The specific aims of CREST are: 1. To test the hypothesis that a telemedicine program including education and clinical consultation between a tertiary care academic medical center and rural, local hospitals will significantly improve key treatment decisions and outcome measures in sepsis and trauma. 2. To test the hypothesis that the differences in ISS and time to antibiotics for trauma and sepsis patients exposed to telemedicine intervention and those without the intervention matched on propensity scores are not due to unmeasured confounders. CREST seeks new solutions to rural health disparities, to advance technology, create and retain jobs and address important research opportunities by combining implementation of
