The SBIS Registry has been established to provide a comprehensive registry of severe burn injuries treated at the three NSW Burns Units: the Children’s Hospital at Westmead, Royal North Shore Hospital and Concord Repatriation General Hospital. Burns patients represent a well defined and distinct subgroup of trauma patients in NSW. Extensive burns are associated with substantial treatment and rehabilitation costs, and many result in permanent disability, highlighting the need to monitor the incidence, management and outcomes of burn injury.
The data collected enables the registry to meet its aims of monitoring, surveillance and clinical evaluation and is critical for:
- Improving service planning for burns patients in NSW
- Informing the development of injury prevention campaigns and strategies
- Developing best practice clinical guidelines and initiatives
- Developing key clinical indicators at a state level
- Monitoring quality and types of care provided to burns patients
- Allowing the generation of reports used in monthly, quarterly and annual audits for the burns service.
- Shared with clinicians
- Shared with consumers
- Shared with hospital executive
