Trauma Patient Followup Registry

Abstract

The goal of this project has been to explore and document the information management capabilities needed to develop a transportable spartan but automated patient care record for trauma patients which would be a model for a comparable system to be used in the echelons of care employed by military operational medicine and for which the Fleet Marine Force is the model. While this goal has remained invariant, the objectives needed to achieve this goal have changed, as has the original strategy, because of the opportunities presented by recent events. The major objectives at the completion of this contract, 31 July 1987, are: Develop a generic automated patient record structure compatible with CHCS, VA DHCP, USPHS systems and standards for non- federal automated systems. Utilize standardized terminologies and data representations. Identify strategies for quickly and easily educating trauma care personnel in the use of automated information systems in the care process. Develop a Trauma Registry linked to the care record structure for use as a research database.
