Abstract
As information technology advances and data systems evolve, there is an opportunity to improve trauma registries and information systems within the broader context of the health information environment. Taking a proactive stance on the further development and improvement of trauma registries will allow for input into the design of health information technologies that can be utilized in the implementation of the registries.
