🌱 Answer: The only cases that should be included in the Registry are those where the Burn Service is managing or co-managing the care of the patient. If this patient was solely under the Internal Medicine Service and the Burn Service was not involved in co-managing the care, then no, the patient should not be included. Consults are not considered co-managing.
🤔 Question: Question about entering patients in the registry in the case of patients with wounds. This specific case was a traumatic hematoma that became necrotic. The burn team admitted the patient for outpatient surgery for grafting with clinic follow-up for the acute wound. Should this case be included in the registry?
🌱 Answer: If your burn team is seeing and caring for these patients then, yes, they should be included in your registry as a non-burn case. You should consult with your burn surgeon to determine which type of non-burn injury this should be called if you are not sure.
