Severe Orthopedic Trauma Clinical Trial
Official title:
Improving Activity and Quality of Life Following Orthopaedic Trauma: The Trauma Collaborative Care Study (TCCS)
The study uses a multi-site, cluster design to determine the effectiveness of an
intervention based on a Trauma Collaborative Care (TCC) model in improving patient outcomes
for persons with severe orthopedic trauma and enhancing both patient and provider
satisfaction with overall care. The study will also determine the cost and
cost-effectiveness of the intervention.
Primary Hypothesis: Compared to standard treatment alone, access to the TCC Program plus
standard treatment will result in lower rates of the composite outcome (i.e. positive for
poor function, depression, and/or PTSD).
Secondary Hypotheses: Compared to standard treatment alone, access to the TCC Program plus
standard treatment will result in lower levels of pain and higher rates of return to usual
major activity and higher levels of health related quality of life. In addition, both
primary and secondary outcomes will correlate strongly with the intermediate outcome of
self-efficacy.
