In violently injured patients, those who received inpatient psychology consultations were more likely to attend follow-up and mental health visits after discharge. Embedding psychological care in trauma services may boost engagement and support recovery after injury.

How can academic acute care surgeons teach and research when clinical demands consume their time? We present a framework for sustainable staffing in acute care surgery that protects the academic mission while meeting 24/7 trauma and emergency surgery needs.

Congratulations to Dr. @pbatesmurphy! Dr. Murphy recently received a Sprint Grant from @traumadoctors for, "Work-to-Faculty Ratios and Patient Outcomes: A Multi-Institutional Quasi-Experimental Study!" 👏 #LeadingTheWay@MCWtraumaacs
@SewinginSoup@elliotthaut@AmCollSurgeons@acsJACS Overall very happy to see it being discussed more and more - if surgeons aren't at the table they are on the menu (and I think already have been)
@elliotthaut@AmCollSurgeons@acsJACS I think there is a real opportunity to use mixed-methods to study current time-based frameworks in surgery and better understand qualitatively what 'intensity' is at a population level.
@SewinginSoup@elliotthaut@AmCollSurgeons@acsJACS Yes this is similar to my interpretation.. the other challenge is how long should a work period be? And how does this annualize? A normal full-time job is right around 2100 hr/yr
@elliotthaut@AmCollSurgeons@acsJACS If you say 1 in 4 call do you mean 1 in 4 for a full year (365 days) or a full working year (365 days less PTO and CME). Very different numbers
@elliotthaut@AmCollSurgeons@acsJACS It is close... the issue is with using the week/ months as a time expression. Same with 1 in 4 call idea. Should be expressed annually to account for PTO and CME.
