Next Generation Trauma Registry Project

The Florida Department of Health (FDOH) Trauma Program collects patient-level data from all verified and provisional Trauma Centers quarterly. Each Trauma Center has its own unique software system that collects data in varying formats and then generates files submitted to the statewide Trauma Registry.

The current physical structure of the State Trauma Registry database makes it difficult, if not impossible, to access the Trauma Registry data for:
(4) Medical research (as permitted under Sec. 395.404 and Chap. 405, F.S.),
(5) Evaluation of trauma patient care and trauma center performance via integration of trauma patient data and trauma center site survey information for quality assurance and improvement, and
(6) Linking with databases of other providers in the health care system to evaluate trauma system performance and track patient outcomes.

The Next Generation Trauma Registry (NGTR) Project will improve the current physical structure of the State Trauma Registry as well as automate and secure submissions of files.
