N2 - Manually documented trauma flow sheets contain critical information regarding trauma resuscitations in the emergency department (ED). The American College of Surgeons (ACS) has enforced certain thresholds on trauma surgeons' arrival time to the trauma bay. Due to the complex and fast-paced ED environment, this information can be easily overlooked or erroneously recorded, affecting compliance with ACS standards. This paper is a retrospective study conducted at a Level I trauma center equipped with an RFID system to investigate an automated solution to evaluate and improve the accuracy of measuring trauma surgeons' response time to the highest level (red) trauma activations.Clinical Relevance - Demonstration of timely response to trauma activations is required for ACS verification. As real-time location systems become more prevalent, they may improve a hospital's ability to report accurate response times for trauma team activations.
