Abstract:

Preventable mortality refers to deaths that could have been prevented medically under different circumstances. Typically, rural areas have a higher preventable mortality rate than urban regions. This may be due to a number of factors, such as the time elapsed from the emergency call to the arrival of the ambulance at the scene of the incident, the time for the ambulance to reach the trauma center, insufficient experience with certain trauma procedures due to infrequent occurrences, and inadequate training for emergency medical services personnel in rural areas. This project evaluated the impact of a continuous quality improvement system, aimed at pre-hospital and hospital emergency providers of trauma care in rural areas, on the overall preventable mortality rate in rural eastern North Carolina. This program significantly contributed to the decrease in preventable deaths and inappropriate care in northeastern rural North Carolina. /Abstract from report summary page/
