Abstract
The dedicated orthopaedic trauma room (DOTR) has emerged over the last decade as an effective approach to improving workflow while reducing the complications and costs that are associated with musculoskeletal trauma care. We surveyed the top 20 hospitals in the United States and found that 14 (70%) utilize a DOTR. Coupled with recent data on improved outcomes and patient flow, we see evidence that the availability of a DOTR has become a best practice for orthopaedic trauma care.
