Abstract:
Background: Trauma is considered one of the major causes of death around the world. Increased costs of healthcare and differences in the quality of services among trauma centers indicate that measuring the performance of trauma care is necessary. Objectives: the present study aimed to develop some trauma care performance indicators. Methods: This study was implemented between September ۲۰۱۷ and October ۲۰۱۸ in a four-stage process: a comprehensive literature review, sessions with a panel of five experts, two focus group discussions, sixteen semi-structured interviews, and a two-round Delphi survey. The study setting was East Azerbaijan province, Iran. Forty-six experts in different fields of medical sciences confirmed applicable indicators for trauma care assessment. Results: A total of ۱۴۰ indicators were found through a comprehensive literature review. After conducting expert panels, focus group discussions, and interviews, the number of indicators decreased to ۵۷ cases and were entered into the Delphi survey. In the first phase of the Delphi survey, content validity ratio (CVR), content validity indicator (CVI), and modified kappa values were ۰.۶۴, ۰.۸۵, and ۰.۸۳, respectively. Sixteen indicators were changed or deleted and ۶ indicators were separated. The members of the final expert panel agreed on ۵۰ indicators in the second phase of the Delphi survey after omitting ۷ indicators. Conclusion: Performanceindicators for trauma care evaluation were introduced in this study. They can be used by policymakers and health service providers to assess and improve performance and compare trauma centers in Iran and developing countries that have health systems similar to the Iranian health system.
