MTG will be summarizing the feedback received during the meetings and

will make this document available to stakeholders for final review and

comment.

For the next step in the process, MTG will begin assessing other state

registries through on site visits and surveys. MTG has provided the

Program Project Manager with the plan for selecting and visiting other

states. A survey was sent to all states on July 10, 2009 to confirm

their registry information and support MTG's final selection of states.

MTG has tentatively scheduled to meet with Pennsylvania on July 16,

2009.

The final report from MTG is due to DSHS in September. The final report

findings and recommendations will be shared with stakeholders and will

be used to develop a Request for Proposal for a new EMS/Trauma Registry.

Other Registry Business

In response to customer concerns, DSHS will minimize the Trauma Registry

system downtime by limiting routine maintenance to one weekend per

month. The maintenance work should take less than the entire weekend.

System users will be notified when maintenance is scheduled and when it

has been completed and the system is available.

The following reports are now available in production.
