Transactive memory in trauma resuscitation teams Phase 1 & 2
Improving the effectiveness of trauma resuscitation in the emergency department is a major priority for the United Sates health care system. The underlying hypothesis of this research is that a major determinant of resuscitation effectiveness is the presence of a well-developed transactive memory system (TMS), a collective systems for encoding, storing and retrieving information. The overall goal of this study is to determine the link between TMS and trauma team performance.
