Integration of Trauma-Informed Care

The purpose of this community health project was to develop client-centred trauma-informed care templates to ensure that clients receive appropriate care when presenting to the hospital. These templates will be integrated with The Ottawa Hospital (TOH) electronic medical record called EPIC. A major issue facing the clients at the hospice was the fact that when the clients must go into the hospital, they are not cared for using a trauma-informed care approach. The students created a template that can be individualized for each client and has several “prompts” that can be filled out to ensure proper care is provided while in the hospital.
