Process
The Joint Trauma System (JTS) leverages its vast trauma registry and expertise in battlefield medicine to develop protocols for critical trauma care that can save lives and streamline recovery processes. To bring that story of impact to life, we developed a short film showing how various JTS protocols and other critical care interventions saved Army Sergeant Ryan Davis’ life.
In the film, Sgt. Davis’ wife narrates her husband’s journey from the battlefield to his return to his family while the two co-heads of JTS detail the protocols used to administer care each step of the way. We then layered in personal photographs, archival combat care footage, and explanatory graphics to further illustrate the process.

Results
The final film was used to celebrate the Joint Trauma System via digital communications and shared widely among the HJF community.
