Detection of missed injuries in a pediatric trauma center with the addition of acute care pediatric nurse practitioners.

Resler J, Hackworth J, Mayo E, Rouse TM. J Trauma Nurs. 2014;21:272-275.

Missed injuries and delayed diagnoses are a relatively common problem in trauma care. This study describes a 150% increase in the number of documented missed injuries that were caught following the introduction of acute care nurse practitioners on a pediatric trauma service. The authors attribute the uptick in identified missed injuries to better charting and follow-up examinations.
