Our commitment to excellence

UX0760-SMH-trauma-team-duplex-3840x2160

A team of trauma experts

If a major injury or mass casualty event occurs, we are ready. Our highly trained personnel include a dedicated team of:

  • Board-certified trauma surgeons

  • Emergency room physicians

  • Nurse practitioners

  • Surgical specialists

  • Nurses and support staff

Exemplary care for older adults

We’re committed to serving the growing needs of the aging population. Geriatric trauma management guidelines are implemented from the time of arrival in the trauma room and are maintained throughout the length of stay.

Our Generational Health Program provides healthcare for all ages and stages of adult life by following an age-friendly framework called the 4Ms. This approach helps patients maintain functional and cognitive independence while in the hospital.

The 4Ms of age-friendly care


1

What Matters

Understanding each older adult’s specific health outcome goals and care preferences, and aligning care to what really matters to them


2

Medication

If medications are necessary, use age-friendly medications that do not interfere with what matters, mentation or mobility


3

Mentation (Mental activity)

Prevent, identify, treat, and manage depression, dementia and delirium across all care settings


4

Mobility

Ensure that older adults at home and in every setting of care move safely every day in order to maintain function and to do what matters


Injury prevention and community support

After a traumatic injury, patients and families often need more than medical care. They may need to talk with others who understand what they are going through. Some of the physical, emotional, social and financial issues following trauma cannot be anticipated. Sharp Memorial has support groups available to assist during these unexpected times.

Trauma injuries affect all age groups and may lead to disability or death. Evidence shows that prevention programs are effective at reducing injuries and fatalities. In collaboration with community partners, we share trauma and fall prevention information with the San Diego community. The programs we partner with include:

UX0885-think-first-logo-4-3-CM-2880x2160
