With our primary population being musculoskeletal disorders and trauma, we collaborate every day with multiple interdisciplinary team members like our ever present APPs, as well as dieticians, stress management, acute pain service, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. We take intermediate and stepdown patients, and our most common stepdown patients transfer to us from the SICU (surgical intensive care unit). Our trauma patients provide us so many amazing opportunities to go above and beyond for our patients! Many of them are struggling on many levels with the unexpected life event that brought them to us, and we can provide extremely valuable emotional support and education to ensure their success and healing when they leave 11DCT. We excel in wound care, pain control, mobilization, and navigating complex care plans.
