Description
The 1999 Review of Trauma and Emergency Services (ROTES) report recognised that an effective trauma system requires formal monitoring and feedback processes. It recommended a state trauma registry be established to ascertain the effectiveness of the system and to provide ongoing monitoring of major trauma patients.
The Victorian State Trauma System (VSTS) was introduced to improve the delivery of trauma care in this state. The Victorian State Trauma Registry (VSTR) has enabled monitoring and analysis of the VSTS to critically review trauma care across the state with the aim of reducing preventable deaths and permanent disability from major trauma.
Reporting process
Feedback to health services through Department of Health (Victoria) Case Review Group and State Trauma Advisory Committee.
Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs)
The registry monitors collects PROMs at six, 12 and 24 months following injury.
- Function – Extended Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS-E)
- Health-related quality of life – EQ-5D-5L
- Disability - WHO Disability Assessment Schedule
- Pain – Numerical Rating Scale
- Return to work and work disability
