The University of Chicago Medical Center is adding a new element to patient recovery specifically for trauma victims.
"We wait until they're moved to the inpatient side," Loughran explained. "We obviously want to make sure they're medically stable and in the headspace to talk to us, but we'll see them maybe two or three days after they've been in the hospital."
The need for help like this is critical not only in Chicago, but all across the U.S. And the University of Chicago Medical Center is hoping to be a pioneer for other trauma centers with this program by showing that more can be done for patients treated nationwide. "We are acquiring data, we are trying to understand what works, what doesn't work, amplifying the things that work and finally becoming a national model," Dr. Rogers said.
The program is set to go on for at least five years, with the expectation of 150 patients receiving these resources within the first year.
