背景:为改善老年创伤患者的诊疗,美国外科医师学会(American College of Surgeons, ACS)创伤质量改进项目(Trauma Quality Improvement Program, TQIP)于2021年更新了相关指南。在南加州老年医学专家短缺的背景下,洛杉矶县的两家安全网医院被要求制定策略,以在资源受限的情况下落实老年创伤诊疗指南。方法:所有年满60岁的创伤患者被纳入研究,无排除标准(2022年8月—2023年4月期间入住美国南加州一家安全网医院)。主要结局为通过记录进行衰弱筛查,以识别出发生不良结局风险较高的老年创伤患者。结果:需求评估发现,目前尚无标准化的流程来识别高风险老年患者,缺乏老年医学护理指南,也未设立住院老年医学会诊服务。一项由住院医师主导的行动方案通过实施衰弱筛查,成功识别出高风险患者。总体而言,共有217例患者符合纳入标准,其中96例患者(44%)成功接受了衰弱筛查。在研究期间,衰弱筛查的依从性逐步提高,首月筛查覆盖率为37%,至研究最后一个月上升至81%。在实现近乎全面的衰弱筛查后,为便于记录、数据采集/追踪及依从性监测,已在电子病历系统(EMR)中开发并投入使用了标准化表单。讨论:在本研究中,创造力、协作精神以及灵活应变能力使得TQIP指南得以在两家县级医院成功实施。目前,已建立系统化流程,通过虚弱筛查识别高风险老年创伤患者,并对其进行分诊,以获得内科住院会诊,从而优化合并症的管理。持续的多学科及跨机构协作对于向老年创伤患者持续提供最佳诊疗服务至关重要。
