Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

RedCap surverys

The study team will use REDCap to send an IRB approved secure electronic survey

Interviews

The study team plans to do about 18-23 one-on-one interviews with clinicians (burn care nurses, physicians, advanced practice providers, therapists) or will progress until data saturation is reached.

Interventions

Tool kit

The study team will develop and design key elements of the implementation intervention (toolkit) among a small group of burn and non-burn clinician stakeholders (4-6 total). The study team will use in-person interviews with stakeholders and a semi-structured interview guide to elicit feedback and assess face and content validity of the toolkit elements prior to deployment across the study hospitals. For those who consent to participation, the study team will conduct virtual teleconference interviews in-person using a secure videoconferencing platform while the person is not working, at a time convenient for them. Interviews will last between 45 and 60 minutes. The study team anticipates conducting 4-6 interviews to finalize toolkit elements prior to implementation.

Primary outcome measure

  • Examine the relationships between clinician perceptions of feasibility, acceptability, intention to use, and the actual use of acute burn teleconsultation. [ Time Frame: 4 years ]
