KY Trauma 8.6

This annual event will describe effective and appropriate patient care that decreases patient morbidity and mortality while improving the medical knowledge of healthcare providers to produce positive patient outcomes.

Topics presented will provide our referring hospitals’ trauma education on stabilization of the injured patient before transfer to a higher level of care. Attendees will define all necessary ancillary healthcare providers/services that are needed to address the injuries of the patient, along with describing and correcting errors and unsafe practices that affect the patient negatively. Through presentations, panel discussions, and interactive formats, our expert local, regional, and national speakers offer basic and cutting edge guidelines and techniques for evaluation, diagnosis, and management of trauma patients.

Jointly sponsored by UK HealthCare Level 1 Trauma Center, UK HealthCare’s Kentucky Children’s Hospital, UofL Hospital, & Norton Children’s.
