An update from the Trauma Registry folks:

DSHS Trauma Registry Improvement System Assessment (TRISA) Project

Weekly Update, Week of July 20, 2009

MTG Management Consultants is in the process of collecting information

from other states. They have surveyed states within the U.S. to request

information pertaining to their EMS/Trauma Registry applications; thus

far, 27 states have responded. Based on the results, MTG has chosen 8

states to contact for further discussions. They have now visited

Pennsylvania, Missouri, and Minnesota. In addition, MTG attended an

Emergency Data Systems (EDS) conference in Lakeville Minnesota and where

they had the opportunity to speak with representatives from Alaska,

Kansas, Mississippi, Nebraska, Virginia, and Washington about their

respective registries.
