Data Systems
Prehospital Data System
Data is collected on the patient care report form from the ambulance providers and is keyed into a computerized data base for planning purposes.
Trauma Register
Data is collected on patients treated in trauma centers by the trauma registry in each hospital for inclusion into a statewide trauma register. This data is used for quality assurance activities and to develop reports on the incidence and treatment of trauma patients.
Computer Systems Maintenance
Personnel in this area assist the users of computer equipment and programs with their computer problems. The division is also working with interested ambulance services in developing their own capability for data entry in the field or at their base.
