Activities
An integral part of our work is to assist in developing weak areas of care.
​
We work closely with our partners to achieve the goal of strong emergency care.
How We Work
We work with our colleagues at their home institutions on self-identified areas that may require strengthening. Examples may include:
​
-
Improvements of the basic approaches to the care of the emergency patient and their families.
-
Improvements of team-based resuscitations.
-
Development of emergency care/emergency room systems (such as triage, ER flow, ER preparedness, checklist, etc).
-
Development of appropriate resuscitation spaces.
-
Development of mass causality incident plans.
-
Identification of goals and pre-hospital care.
​
​
We develop collaborative improvement strategies with our colleagues. Examples may include:
​​
-
​Development of a simulation based education system.
-
Bedside teaching or role modelling, incorporating local team members.
-
Emphasis on team based care.
-
Didactic teaching as needed.
-
Focused teaching models.
-
Virtual rounds.
-
Nursing empowerment.
We work with a longitudinal view. We will stay involved until we are not needed.
We work within the local, regional and national health education systems.
We identify partners organically and bring in partners when appropriate. Examples:
​
-
Formal or informal partnerships with trauma surgery departments, ER fellowship programs, national professional associations, in-country specialists.
