Study Overview
Brief Summary
A recent internal study evaluating the relevance of the visit to traumatology consultation in our establishment highlight that 49.3% of consultations were not relevant passages. The project consists of individualizing 5 to 6 pathologies and to create care sheets and patient sheets to be given to the care teams and patients when the pathology lends itself to it. The aim is to reduce the irrelevant passage rate during these consultations, which is the source of absence from iterative work for parents, collateral expenses (toll, parking), absence from school for the children, unjustified expenses and X-ray examination unnecessary most often.
Detailed Description
The Pediatric Orthopedics and Traumatology department proposes a reform of the care in Traumatology of the children in order to improve and homogenize the care for a better relevance of these.
A recent internal study (June 2018) evaluating the relevance of the visit to traumatology consultation in our establishment to highlight that 49.3% of consultations were not relevant passages (Benign diseases of sprained ankle type, muscular contusion or simple bone removals). Indeed, these specialist consultations are currently filled by pathologies of simple treatment that do not require medical follow-up (neither clinical nor radiological follow-up).
The project consists of individualizing 5 to 6 pathologies found in consultation recurrently which the scientific literature has established that their follow-up is not justified, and to create care sheets and patient sheets to be given to the care teams and patients when the pathology lends itself to it. These cards will include all the management of the pathology of the definition itself, including the treatment and expected outcomes.
The aim is to reduce the irrelevant passage rate during these consultations, which is the source of absence from iterative work for parents, collateral expenses (toll, parking), absence from school for the children, unjustified expenses and X-ray examination unnecessary most often.
The expected benefit is parental and child satisfaction, a time saving for the practitioner that he can reinvest in consultations for patients who are in fact a specialist opinion and a relative budget saving for the establishment.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change of the number of patients routinely summoned to post-emergency trauma consultation
Time Frame: at 6 months
decrease in the number of patients coming back for an unjustified consultation for these 4 pathologies by comparing the period from 6 months preceding the start of the protocol to a period of 6 months after starting the protocol.
Secondary Outcomes
- compliance of care(at 60 days after inclusion)
- measurement of patient satisfaction(at 60 days after inclusion)
