About this trial
The study team will use implementation science to accelerate the uptake of teleconsultationfor burn patients by 1) examining the relationships between clinician perceptions of acceptability, feasibility, intention to use, and actual use of burn teleconsultation 2) identifying the optimal process for burn teleconsultation and the barriers and facilitators for its use during a crisis or prolonged care situation, and 3) designing and testing the effectiveness of a specific, tailored burn teleconsultation toolkit intervention to increase burn teleconsultation use.

Tool kit
BehavioralThe study team will develop and design key elements of the implementation intervention (toolkit) among a small group of burn and non-burn clinician stakeholders (4-6 total). The study team will use in-person interviews with stakeholders and a semi-structured interview guide to elicit feedback and assess face and content validity of the toolkit elements prior to deployment across the study hospitals. For those who consent to participation, the study team will conduct virtual teleconference interviews in-person using a secure videoconferencing platform while the person is not working, at a time convenient for them. Interviews will last between 45 and 60 minutes. The study team anticipates conducting 4-6 interviews to finalize toolkit elements prior to implementation.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Examine the relationships between clinician perceptions of feasibility, acceptability, intention to use, and the actual use of acute burn teleconsultation.
The study team will look at the differences in opinions between the Aim 1 and 2 interviews and surveys as well as the referral numbers being collected and compare that to the Aim 3 data from interviews and surveys as well as actual referral data to see if there is an increase in the use of telemedicine.
