Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to test the effect of the "Best Case/Worse Case" (BC/WC) communication tool on the quality of communication with older patients admitted to two trauma units. The intervention was developed and tested with acute care surgical patients at the University of Wisconsin (UW) and we are now testing whether the intervention will work in a different setting. We will test the intervention with severely injured older adults at Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU) and Parkland Memorial Hospital (PMH) at the University of Texas Southwestern (UTS). In the first year, UTS/PMH and OHSU will recruit and enroll 50 patients in the control arm (total, for both sites) and train trauma surgeons to use the best case/worst case tool. In the second year, UTS/PMH and OHSU will recruit and enroll 50 patients in the intervention arm (total, for both sites). UW will compare survey-reported and chart-derived measures before and after clinicians learn to use the best case/worst case tool.
