Thank you for your interest in becoming part of the NEW INTEGRIS Health Baptist Trauma Team! We are excited to change the landscape for trauma care in the OKC metro, region, and state. We are working towards becoming a Level II American College of Surgeons (ACS) verified trauma center.
We are taking care of all levels of trauma patients with the same standard of care that you might find at a Level I Trauma Center. Trauma nurses at Integris Health will have the opportunity to care for patients from all over the state of Oklahoma who have experienced a traumatic injury(s).
Our trauma service line consists of a Trauma ED, Trauma ICU, Trauma IMC and a Trauma MS Unit. The inpatient trauma service line is located on the 6th floor of IHBMC. 601 Trauma IMC is a 12-bed intermediate care unit that provides an excellent space to care for our severely injured trauma patients.
The Trauma IMC will receive injured patients directly from both the Trauma ED and the operating room.
The trauma service line at IHBMC is brand new and provides exposure to a large variety of patients with a mechanism and injury along with any existing co-morbidities. Trauma patients at every level of care are high acuity and require complex specialized care from trained caregivers.
The trauma service line is unique in that our attending trauma surgeons care for our patients at all levels of care from the emergency department to discharge. Trauma will also have a dedicated team of advanced practitioners to ensure quality care for our patients 24/7.
In Trauma IMC caregivers will learn to care for everything from internal organ lacerations to rib fractures and musculoskeletal injuries and more. Many trauma patients have surgical care elements along with physical, occupational and speech rehabilitation.
Trauma caregivers will become skilled in pain management, recognition of hemorrhage, cognitive evaluations, spinal cord injury care, traumatic brain injury progression, fractures and post-surgical care.
Trauma caregivers in Trauma IMC will also have exposure to medical devices such as trachs, wound vacs, chest tubes, drains, multiple orthotic braces, skeletal traction and external fixation devices.
601Trauma is an excellent place for caregivers seeking a fast paced, complex care unit. Both new graduates and experienced nurses can learn and grow their trauma careers on 601 Trauma at IBMC.
Trauma nurses at Integris Health will be supported with educational opportunities and have access to evidence-based practice guidelines to ensure they are able to provide the best care possible.
