 Regional Trauma Registry

Overview
The regional registry of the TSTC seeks to benefit the public at large and trauma care providers by maintaining demographic, clinical, and outcome data that can be used to improve trauma care in the Tri-State Region.

The TSTC Regional Trauma Registry serves as a repository to the State Trauma Registry for area hospitals to facilitate transfer of trauma data as mandated by law.  Confidentiality of patients and hospitals is maintained with the TSTC Registry and when exporting required data to the State Trauma Registry.

Benefits to Participants
A regional registry provides several benefits to participating hospitals.  When a trauma registry exists at a regional level:

  • Hospitals can receive their own data for trending purposes;
  • Hospitals can use the regional data to benchmark their effectiveness against other hospitals in the region;
  • Participation allows for quality improvement and quality assurance purposes in order to improve care delivered to trauma victims in the Tri-State Region.
