The Actuate-CBC Study: Improving Burn Teleconsultation

This study, called The Actuate-CBC Study, is looking at ways to improve how doctors use telemedicine (medical care provided remotely using technology) for burn patients. Researchers are developing a "toolkit" (a set of resources and guidelines) to help clinicians (healthcare professionals) use teleconsultation more effectively. They want to understand what makes it easy or hard for clinicians to use telemedicine for burn care, especially during emergencies. The study will look at how clinicians feel about using teleconsultation, if they plan to use it, and if they actually do use it. This study is for clinicians aged 18 or older who provide burn care at specific burn centers or non-burn hospitals. The goal is to improve burn care and national crisis response plans.

    The study team will look at the differences in opinions between the Aim 1 and 2 interviews and surveys as well as the referral numbers being collected and compare that to the Aim 3 data from interviews and surveys as well as actual referral data to see if there is an increase in the use of telemedicine.
