Abstract

Background: Trauma is one of the major causes of mortality across the world. Trauma patients have critical status and need timely, adequate, and organized care. The different consequences of Trauma care among service centers around the world and even within a country revealed the need for careful Evaluation. This study was designed and executed to collect experts’ opinions on the Evaluation steps, related Indicators, and improvement strategies in Trauma care. Methods: This qualitative study was based on a conventional content analysis approach. 2 focus group discussions (FGD) with 6 participants per FGD and 16 face-to-face in-depth interviews were conducted to collect the required information (from September 2018 to early 2019). Participants were selected through the purposive sampling method. The experts’ viewpoints were classified by the main and sub themes. Results: Four basic themes extracted from the interviews and focus group discussions including, Trauma care importance (sub-themes: the involved individuals’ being young and productive and the effectiveness of Trauma care); Trauma care Indicators (sub-themes: pre-hospital Indicators, in-hospital Indicators, and post-hospital Indicators); stages of Trauma care Evaluation (sub-themes: Evaluation prerequisites, finalization of Indicators before the Evaluation, determining Evaluation time scope, determining Evaluation dimensions, external and internal Evaluation and use of Evaluation results); Trauma care improvement (sub-themes: balancing workload in Trauma centers, enhancement of information system, considering extra-organizational dimensions in Trauma care and empowerment of Trauma care providers). Conclusions: According to experts’ viewpoints, trauma is a very important issue, because it involves young people. They believed that having Indicators covering all aspects of care assist health managers and policymakers to understand under-standard performance. These Indicators should be used in the form of a specific Evaluation program and related to Iran context. Besides, reforming macro policies, planning, development of infrastructures, and education was some recommendations of experts to improve Trauma care.
