Correct estimation of the severity of a burn is key to obtaining the right emergent treatment of the patient and to avoid over-and under-triage. We want to thank you in advance for taking a few moments to complete this brief survey.
The goals of the INTEGRIS Health eBurn Telemedicine program are as follows:
Provide optimal and evidence-based emergent burn care while at the referring facility
Guide fluid resuscitation, airway management, and burn care
Accurate estimation of burn percentage
Accurate estimation of burn depth
Appropriate fluid resuscitation based on accurate burn assessment
Consultation on intubation
Consultation on topical burn care prior to transfer/referral
Burn patient referral to the appropriate medical setting/resource (i.e., inpatient critical care, acute care or outpatient follow-up)
Possible elimination of Baptist ED admission with allowing the accepting physicians “see” what they will receive
Allows for appropriate planned interventions upon arrival to the Burn Center as a direct admit (i.e., Airway, Line placement, escharotomies, removal of tar, surgical interventions, etc.)
