In October, 2005 The Mississippi State Department of Health, Office of EMS contracted with Digital Innovation of Forest Hill, MD to customize software that would be used as the new Trauma Registry. The kickoff joint application development meeting was held February 9, 2006 and the application was deployed to the hospitals in July, 2006.
Collector is a trauma registry system that helps users meet changing requirements or collection and evaluation of trauma data for quality assurance, accreditation, management, prevention and research. Collector is a complete data management and report generating package which includes a user friendly data entry and verification system, querying capabilities and integration with expert coding software (Tri-Code). Collector offers coding, database and analysis capabilities.
The capabilities of DI's Collector software products extend beyond data collection and standard reports. The software has data validation features (ensuring quality regional and state registry data), automated injury coding capabilities, data entry efficiency, unique quality assurance features as well as powerful report writing and querying features. Collector is a complete solution and no other software is needed to run the system other than the operating system (network operating system for network versions).
The Central-Site version of Collector offers all the features and capabilities of the hospital software, plus allows for the collection of, and reporting on, all data elements within the state and/or region cumulatively or by facility and/or any patient subset. Collector's report writer allows central-site staff to support data requests, research requirements, systems evaluation, comparative analysis, and more. Data will be sent electronically using secure encrypted files
In February 2005, Digital Innovation and the American College of Surgeons entered into a strategic business relationship. In addition, the ACS-COT has selected DI to provide data management and support services for the National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB). This relationship will ensure we meet the requirements of the NTDB for Mississippi’s data submissions.
