1 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The study uses a multi-site, cluster design to determine the effectiveness of an intervention based on a Trauma Collaborative Care (TCC) model in improving patient outcomes for persons with severe orthopedic trauma and enhancing both patient and provider satisfaction with overall care. The study will also determine the cost and cost-effectiveness of the intervention. Primary Hypothesis: Compared to standard treatment alone, access to the TCC Program plus standard treatment will result in lower rates of the composite outcome (i.e. positive for poor function, depression, and/or PTSD). Secondary Hypotheses: Compared to standard treatment alone, access to the TCC Program plus standard treatment will result in lower levels of pain and higher rates of return to usual major activity and higher levels of health related quality of life. In addition, both primary and secondary outcomes will correlate strongly with the intermediate outcome of self-efficacy.
