Vision
An image or word picture that describes a desired future:
An international “asociación de hermandad”
that significantly improves the quality and

prevention for all children, specifically in
Central America and the Caribbean

a.
2.
3.
Increase collaboration between all members
Promote awareness of the association
a.
b.
4.
Develop active campaigns to educate and prevent
Develop successful fundraising strategies and activities
Define standards/protocols for burn care
a.
5.
6.
Establish and maintain focus on vision, mission and values in a manner that
impacts our daily activities
Research and evaluation
Improve communication between all members of the association
Develop programs that support and build incentives for burn nurses
8
Proposed Strategy - Burn Prevention
Through a sustainable prevention program based on hard facts, we
are looking for a cultural change in attitude that leads to a change in
conduct, consciousness and awareness, education and practices.
1. Identify and research causes/risk factors by age group related to accidental
and intentional burns
2. Prevention campaigns are costly, it will be important to establish the
following:
a. Continuity until we reach our goals
b. Legal measures or strong regulations
c. Knowledge of real statistics
d. National and international alliances
9
Proposed Strategy - Burn Prevention
3.
Measuring the effectiveness of burn campaigns is based on the number of
diminished severe burn victims
a.
Requires measuring the number of severe burn victims before and after the
campaigns
b. It could take five years before measurable improvement is evident
4.
Data and information is shared on an annual basis and would include:
a. Database that tracks burns that have taken place on a daily basis
b. Information from all countries in the association
c. Tracking of new laws that the government has implemented regarding burn
care and their effectiveness
10
Proposed Strategy - Training/Education
Training/education for Doctors
1. Provide better training in their country
2. Establish resident rotations (possible post-grad fellowships)
3. Distinguish between general practitioners versus specialists
Training/education for Nurses
1. Establish basic training with opportunity to advance to more expert training
(teaching programs)
2. Make it easier for nurses to visit other units (in other countries) for
knowledge and training
3. Nursing leadership is needed
11
Proposed Strategy - Training/Education
Training/education for burn rehabilitation
Training/education for nutrition
Training/education for social work training and education
Evaluation of Training/Education Effectiveness
1.
Measurements on training education and effectiveness to include:
a.
b.
c.
Retained knowledge through verbal feedback measurement, interactive
scenarios and testing; determine what training is being retained and what is not
being learned)
Performance measurement on subjects/techniques taught
Measurement of medical incidences (e.g., infections, surgical techniques)
12
Proposed Strategy - Training/Education
Information, shared through email and telemedicine, includes:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Work experience and medical techniques
Facts and knowledge
Opportunities for internships and other methods of training/education
(specific types of training for specific countries)
Protocols and standards of care across burn units
Legal advances in all participating countries
Stories and words of humor, morale-building, empathy/sympathy
13
Proposed Strategy - Research Evaluation/Outcomes
Includes: needs assessment, collection of data and standards of
acceptance
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Establish a research culture
Develop a common system for collecting data
Create a web-based data system/database
Offer awards of excellence as incentive
Develop standardized system of evaluation (by unit?)
End Result/Benefits:
1. By reviewing data, we can determine if we were able to meet our objectives
in all burn care areas (medical care, prevention, rehabilitation)
2. Better positioned to raise funds and apply for grants
3. A method of evaluation allows us to improve and to establish priorities on
where to focus resources
14
Proposed Strategy - Research Evaluation/Outcomes
Outcome indicators to be measured are those valuable to patients
and those that indicate the consortium’s progress in meeting its
objectives.
Information sharing occurs through a HIPPA compliant website to
maintain patient confidentiality and requires:
1.

Password protection
Agreed format for data/information collection (e.g., Access, Excel)
On-line course regarding the protection of patient confidentiality

External evaluators (promotes validity of information/data)
Understanding of which information is of most interest to potential
donors
