 Please follow these key steps to request access to the Trauma Registry: 

 Contact the PTS The PTS offers a comprehensive informational package for hospitals interested in participating in the Trauma Registry (TR).

Permanent support is offered to help hospitals before, during and after accessing the TR.
Carry out a Self Assessment and follow the Implementation Plan  An initial self-assessment of the available resources (human, financial, physical) is recommended. It is part of the TR Implementation Plan. A data extraction form is also available.  

This process is key to assess hospital's readiness for the implementation of the TR which includes period data entry and analysis of the data.

 Sign in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) A MOU is signed between the ITSDP/PTS and the hospital. This is an important step to confirm not only the collaborative relationship between both parties but also to define the roles and responsibilities of each party. The annex 1 of the MoU must be completed and submitted.

After the signature of the MOU access to the TR is granted.

 Access the Trauma Registry  The hospital's personnel can start with the data entry process. 

Training videos teach hospital's personnel how to enter data.

 Data Entry and Analysis Permanent assistance is offered to participating hospitals during this process.

TR's users can take advantage of pre-standardized reports to support decision-making.


REMEMBER!

After contacting us, an Implementation Plan for the Trauma Registry will be emailed. The Plan includes guidelines for an initial self-assessment of the hospital's resources and infrastructure, training needs, inclusion criteria, type of data users, data collection target, data extraction and collection procedures, and data analysis and reporting.
