The trauma registry: an administrative and clinical tool.
A commitment to the maintenance of a comprehensive trauma registry can provide numerous benefits, both administrative and clinical. Uses of the information collected can vary in nature and scope based on the needs of the facility and the requirements of external regulatory bodies. Ultimately, the choice of data applications rests with the facility collecting the information. As the facility grows and evolves, so can--and must--its registry.
