Abstract

Dermal burn injuries present a significant challenge in emergency care, particularly within Primary Health Care Centers (PHCCs). Effective management requires a systematic approach that includes rapid assessment, stabilization of the patient, and appropriate treatment protocols. In the emergency room setting, healthcare professionals must prioritize pain management, fluid resuscitation, and wound care to reduce the risk of infection and promote healing. Continuous monitoring of the patient’s vital signs and burn severity is critical, as timely interventions can significantly improve outcomes. The integration of guidelines and checklists in PHCCs helps streamline the treatment process and ensures that all staff are informed about best practices in burn care. Health informatics plays a crucial role in enhancing treatment outcomes for dermal burn injuries. By utilizing electronic health records (EHR) and health information systems, clinicians can efficiently document patient data, track treatment progress, and access evidence-based guidelines tailored for burn management. This technology facilitates better communication among healthcare providers and improves the coordination of care, ensuring that patients receive timely and appropriate interventions. Additionally, data analytics can help identify trends in burn incidents and outcomes, informing preventive measures and resource allocation within PHCCs. Overall, the integration of health informatics not only supports better clinical decision-making but also enhances the overall management of burn injuries in emergency settings.
