ForwardCured into Destitution: Understanding Financial Hardship after Trauma and Emergency Surgery - John W. Scott, MD, MPH, FACS
Series Overview
The Department of Surgery Grand Rounds features presentations relating to best practices in surgery, teamwork, and groundbreaking clinical research. Grand Rounds features a variety of surgical specialties, in order to best represent the population of clinicians and learners within the department and to broaden surgical knowledge outside of one’s direct specialty. We invite presenters from campus and across the world to provide meaningful learning experiences to members of our department.
Intended Audience
MD/DO, RN, and APRN.
Learning Objectives
As a result of participation in this educational activity, members of the healthcare team will:
- Define Financial Toxicity / Financial Hardship as it relates to our patients.
- Explain how insurance status and type influence risk of catastrophic out-of-pocket spending following injury.
- Identify demographic and system-level factors that drive risk for financial hardship after injury, independent of injury severity.
- Summarize the downstream consequences of medical debt and financial hardship on health-related quality of life.
- Discuss practical policy and clinical interventions aimed at mitigating financial toxicity for trauma and emergency surgery patients.
