Category - Paramedic Trauma

Which of the following is the most important reason to accurately document a major trauma event?
  1. For quality assurance purposes
  2. To help the receiving hospital provide effective care
  3. To help law enforcement get patient information
  4. For trauma database data collection
Explanation
Answer: C-Providing accurate information to the receiving hospital enables them to provide the most effective care for the patient and is, therefore, the most important reason to complete accurate documentation of the event.

Agencies will also use the information in run reports to improve quality improvement initiatives and populate the trauma registry. Assisting law enforcement with patient condition and injuries is not a reason for accurate documentation.
