This intervention will be implemented throughout CHS hospitals, using a stepped wedge design to guide rollout. The initial pilot will be conducted in the trauma inpatient units at Carolinas Medical Center. All patients admitted to the two primary trauma units (11A and 11 Tower) during the pilot study period will be included in the evaluation. ;
