Community Trauma Development -
A reference for Trauma Surgeons entering a community practice.

Hospital-supported post-discharge trauma clinic

         This is an alternative to bringing the patients to the physician’s private clinic.

         All trauma patients are seen, not just unfunded/underfunded patients

         This gives the hospital a reason to keep the trauma clinic. Significant fees generated for the hospital in diagnostic radiology (XR/CT/MRI) and returns to the OR for follow-up procedures. Revenue positive for the hospital.4
