The problem
Intervention: Implementation of a mobile burn care cart ('Hydro on Wheels') stocked with specialized supplies and staffed by burn nurses who respond directly to the emergency department to evaluate pediatric burn patients
Who it was tested with: Pediatric burn patients presenting to the emergency department.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"A process developed for burn unit nurses to respond to the emergency department to evaluate all pediatric burn patients was implemented" with associated protocol development and cart stocking. The authors measured wait times before and after implementation, demonstrating a substantial decrease in time to specialist assessment.
