Abstract
We demonstrate the TSI, which is a novel method that identified periods of high-capacity strain in hospitals associated with increased trauma patient mortality. Our newly developed TSI method can be implemented by hospitals and trauma systems to examine periods of high-capacity strain retrospectively, identify specific resources that might have been needed, and better direct future investments in an evidence-based manner.
