Communication Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Randomized Clinical Trial of Scenario Planning for Older Adults With Serious Injury
The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of the Best Case/Worst Case-ICU communication tool on quality of communication, clinician moral distress, and ICU length of stay for older adults with serious traumatic injury. Investigators will follow an estimated 4500 patients aged 50 years and older who are in the ICU for 3 or more days and survey 1500 family members and up to 1600 clinicians from 8 sites nationwide.
This is a multisite, stepped-wedge, randomized clinical trial. At the start of the study, investigators will randomly assign each site to the time when the intervention team will train all trauma surgeons, trainees, and ICU clinicians to use the Best Case/Worst Case-ICU tool. Participants in the intervention group will receive care from a trauma team that routinely uses the Best Case/Worst Case-ICU communication tool. Participants in the control group will receive usual care. The study team will follow an estimated 4,500 patients with the highest post-injury mortality: aged 50 years and older with an ICU length of stay of 3 or more days. They will administer surveys to family members (quality of communication) and clinicians (moral distress) and obtain patient-level outcomes (ICU length of stay (LOS)), clinical data, and demographics from the Trauma Quality Improvement Program (TQIP) national registry. Objectives: - Aim 1: To test the effectiveness of the Best Case/Worst Case-ICU communication tool on improving the quality of communication in the trauma ICU. - Aim 2: To test the effectiveness of the Best Case/Worst Case-ICU communication tool on reducing clinician moral distress in the ICU. - Aim 3: To test the effectiveness of the Best Case/Worst Case-ICU communication tool on reducing ICU length of stay. ;
