The Mississippi Collector Registry enables Mississippi Department of Health personnel to electronically collect, manage, and report Trauma System data. Data is used to identify, design and implement mechanisms to reduce trauma, ultimately improving health care for the citizens of Mississippi. The software application assists hospital staff with performance improvement activities within the hospital. The data collected allows the hospital to monitor and improve its trauma program, as well as track trauma patients that are transported to and/or from their facilities. This data that a Trauma Center must capture is required in order to maintain an effective trauma program. The application also enables the hospital to submit its data via VPN to the State’s database and it enables the regions to pull data from the State’s database for hospitals in their respective region. The region can use the data to develop and monitor pre-hospital triage protocols, transfer agreements, and policies. The State can also use the data to generate statistical reports for use in injury prevention activities, legislative initiatives, and monitoring of the Trauma Care Trust Fund. In addition, the State submits its data to the National Trauma Data Bank which is the largest aggregation of trauma registry data ever assembled. It contains over 2 million records from trauma centers in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. The goal of the NTDB is to inform the medical community, the public, and decision makers about a wide variety of issues that characterize the current state of care for injured persons.
