Florida Trauma RegistryThe Florida Trauma Registry collects patient-level data from the state's verified trauma centers, as authorized by section 395.404(1), Florida Statutes. As a state verified facility, a trauma center must maintain a comprehensive database of those injured patients treated within the hospital. The trauma registry supports the trauma centers' required activities, including performance improvement, outcomes research, and resource utilization as well as providing the state public health system with the necessary data for statewide planning and injury prevention initiatives. 2010 Florida Trauma System Annual Report 2009 Florida Trauma System Annual Report 2008 Florida Trauma System Annual Report 2007 Florida Trauma System Annual Report Performance Improvement (PI) CommitteeThe Trauma Registry's PI Conference call schedule for 2013 is listed below.
