Clinical decision support intervention for rib fracture treatment.
The authors developed an evidence-based rib fracture protocol and clinical decision support intervention (CDSI) at their institution. The purpose of their study was to evaluate implementation and clinical outcomes using this CDSI. They found that the development and use of a CDSI resulted in improved provider delivery of evidence-based practice and was associated with reduced hospital length of stay.

Pilot testing Fall TIPS (Tailoring Interventions for Patient Safety): a patient-centered fall prevention toolkit.
Patient falls during an acute hospitalization cause injury, reduced mobility, and increased costs. The laminated paper Fall TIPS Toolkit (Fall TIPS) provides clinical decision support at the bedside by linking each patient's fall risk assessment with evidence-based interventions. The investigators examined strategies to integrate this evidence into clinical practice. They concluded that engaging hospital and clinical leadership is critical in translating evidence-based care into clinical practice. They address and detail barriers to adoption of the protocol to provide guidance for spread to other institutions.

Validation of the Denver emergency department trauma organ failure score to predict post-injury multiple organ failure.
The objective of the study was to externally validate the Denver Emergency Department (ED) Trauma Organ Failure (TOF) Score, a 6-item instrument that includes age, intubation, hematocrit, systolic blood pressure, blood urea nitrogen, and white blood cell count, which was designed to predict the development of multiple organ failure (MOF) within 7 days of hospitalization. It was determined that the Denver ED TOF Score predicted development of MOF within 7 days of hospitalization.
