  13. Kentucky Registry Report 9-21-10

  14. First Report • 13423 records from 2008 and 2009 • 5 basic questions initially investigated: • patients moving up the system – evidence of 'right patient, right place, right time’ • ED discharge characteristics • overview of data from new level 4’s • In/out-of-state movement • duration in referring facility vs. community hospital

  15. Items Investigated • ICD9 (diagnosis) and AIS distributions • mortality rate • time spent in hospital • total time prior to hospitalization • age (> 55, <15) influences • pre-hospital transport (Ambulance or Helicopter) characteristics • mechanism of injury • County of residence compared to county of injury • hypotension in the ED • ED disposition to OR or ICU

  16. Conclusions-First Report • Appropriate movement in some patient groups. • Evidence of the impact that hypotension plays in mortality. • Apparent reduction in mortality for certain diagnoses for patients transferred in.

  17. Who should be contributing to the registry?

  18. Kentucky EMS Information System (KEMSIS) • New software being implemented • Testing 1Q or 2Q 2011 • A few agencies to test the system • Then expand • kemsis@KCTCS.edu

  19. How can the registry help me? • Local PI • EMS • Hospital • Regional PI • Leverage revenue and funding • Public education/media/marketing • Focus your prevention efforts • Research

  20. How can I help the registry? • Trauma centers: legislated • Non-trauma hospitals: • External force ICD 9 codes • ‘e-codes’ • 800-999 • EMS: prepare for KEMSIS

  21. Conclusions • Trauma systems save lives • Hospitals, EMS, protocols, data, training, PI • Kentucky has a trauma outcome problem • Rural • Immature system • You are the answer • We need complete, accurate data • We need to ask questions

  22. Thanks • TAC members • Lisa Fryman, UK Trauma Coordinator
