Abstract
Spurred by funding from the Trauma Care Systems Planning and Development Act of 1990, many states have accelerated efforts to establish statewide trauma systems. The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), implementers of the act, strongly supports data collection as a key ingredient of an effective trauma care system, stating:
In addition to the identification of the number, types, and severity of injuries, an analysis of relevant data assists in the evaluation of patient care, evaluation of trauma care standards, determination of prevention strategies, and assessment of resources needed. The availability of trauma data also serves to guide policy development.
Article Footnote
Data on nonsurvivors who do not reach a hospital. There are always a certain number of patients who die at the time of injury or soon after, as well as others who die because of delayed trauma system access. Data on these nonsurvivors should be included in the ASCOT-NP evaluations of system-wide outcome.
