What is a trauma registry?

The registry tracks trauma trends over time and provides data to The National Trauma Database for research projects in trauma care. Registry information is used by trauma professionals to develop patient care standards and direct performance improvement initiatives, to create education programs for the public on safety and injury prevention and to impact legislation.

What is a Trauma Performance Improvement Program?

An important role of a Trauma Center is to ensure that trauma patients continue to heal and recover. The Registry provides data that is used within the Performance Improvement Program to evaluate the care given.

A team of trauma professionals meets regularly to review the quality of care and identify issues that affect patient care. Once these issues are identified, the team develops recommendations, which may include creating educational programs and treatment guidelines and protocols based on current trauma research and practice.
