Abstract
Our results led to specific cost-efficiency recommendations: 1) perform closed reduction whenever possible; 2) encourage performing procedures with patients under local anesthesia (closed reductions and arch bar removals); 3) provide improved and shared training among the services treating craniofacial trauma; 4) encourage arrival by privately owned vehicle; 5) provide outpatient treatment, when applicable; 6) offer provider incentives to take trauma call; and 7) offer hospital incentives to treat patients and not transfer them.
