The Duke Trauma Registry is a database of patient information that documents an episode of a patient’s injury from the onset through hospital discharge. This information:
 
  • develops prevention strategies
  • assesses educational outreach needs
  • drives performance improvement
  • provides administrative feedback
  • supports trauma related research
 
A trauma registry is an extremely valuable tool when the data entered is accurate, complete and current. While maintaining a trauma registry is a requirement of being a credentialed trauma center, the standardized data enables trauma centers to benchmark themselves on a state and national level.
