Progress Report on

DSHS TRISA Project

(EMS/Trauma Registry Improvement System Assessment Project)

And Other Registry Business

June, 2009

TRISA

MTG Management Consultants continue to meet with stakeholders around the

state to gather requirements for a new EMS/trauma registry system.

Attendance has averaged about twenty people in each location. Seven

sessions have been conducted thus far. The Midland/Odessa meeting will

be on July 6, the El Paso meeting will be on July 7, and the wrap-up

meeting in Austin will be held on July 13th. For details on the

remaining meetings, refer to our website at

To gather data on best practices, MTG also plans to visit two or three

other states with EMS/trauma registry systems and conduct telephone

surveys with several other states. These efforts reflect DSHS intentions

to replace the current registry with a COTS (commercial off-the-shelf)

product, tailored to fit the needs of Texas. To ensure appropriate

attention to the technical aspects of an ideal system, MTG Consultants

may add if needed a technical session that includes DSHS IT and

stakeholder experts.
