  1. Update on Building a New Trauma Registry August 22 and 23, 2012

  2. What we will cover today: • Mandatory Data Elements • Reporting patient first and last name • Additional Training Sessions • Updated Project Timeline

  3. Legacy File Extract to Upload to DSHS • All data files that are sent to The Registry must be in ASCII tab-delimited format.  A tab must follow every field except the last field of each record.  Even if there is no data recorded for a particular field, or the field is optional, a tab must still be placed in that field’s position.  • The Main Fields section contains the minimum standard data set that everyone is required to send to The Registry.  A file sent in the Main Format must contain all of the fields in the Main Fields section of the appropriate data set.

  27. Mandatory Fields for new Trauma Registry EMS: 9 elements all required in TRAC-IT Hospital: 11 elements all EXCEPT patient first name and last name required in TRAC-IT

  28. Name Data Fields • In the file you have sent for the past several years, there are columns for the first name and the last name • Vendors have either left them blank, inserted a tab, or inserted a space • Some hospitals report patient names to DSHS already • Many EMS have not been reporting patient names even though it has been required for years, DSHS has never enforced it

  29. Considerations for Reporting Patient Name • DSHS conducted two webinars for vendors Aug. 20 and Aug. 23 • Vendors so far have conveyed to DSHS, the customer is able to change a setting on their software to populate the name fields with data and this will not require the vendor to re-create the file extract

  30. Vendors/software that are able to report patient names without re-programming • CDM (Clinical Data Management) • Digital Innovation Corporation • Digitech Computer, Inc. • Emergicon • Emergidata (Rescue Medic) • Emscharts • EMS Consultants • ESO Solutions • Houston Fire Department • ImageTrend • Intermedix • Lancet Technology, Inc. (Trauma One) • Municipal Computing Services • TritechSoftware Systems (aka Ortivus or Sweet Computers) • UMC Lubbock • STATco (EMS data) • Zoll Data Systems

  31. Considerations Continued • If an entity can not change a setting locally and needs their vendor to make a software change in order to populate the name fields, then DSHS will work with that entity and vendor to assist • DSHS is currently exploring a ‘work around’ for any entities who can not report patient names by ‘Go Live’ • Your hospital designation or EMS license will not be negatively impacted if you are not able to report patient names at ‘Go Live’

  32. Considerations Continued • DSHS is extending ‘Go Live’ by one week in order to create the ‘work around’ solution to enable entities to continue to report even if they are not able to report names at ‘Go Live’ • ‘Go Live’ is now Sept. 17th, 2012

  33. How will names be used? • Patient names will be used for: • De-duplication • EMS and Hospital Record Linking

  34. De-duplication • The registry was developed to allow only the reporting facility to see their data (can allow RAC access or Billing company access) • Records can be de-duplicated within each facility • For a record to be considered a duplicate, both records must contain the same data for the date of the event, the DOB, County of Residence, etc. • If one record has exactly the same data AND contains additional data elements not in the second record, then the record with the greatest amount of data will be saved and the other marked as a duplicate for deletion

  35. De-duplicating Continued • Accuracy in reporting the number of patients injured: It is important to not count the same person twice for the same injury when reporting on the number of persons injured • Valid and complete data is needed to determine whether records are duplicates. • Patient names are essential to detect duplicates

  36. De-duplicating Continued • A recent de-duplication of EMS records for the Houston MSA revealed 6% of records were duplicates. • There are 2 million EMS records reported annually to DSHS • 6% of 2 million records would be an estimated 120,000 duplicate records

  37. Linking EMS and Hospital Records • It is important to link EMS to hospital records to study the factors associated with treatment given at the scene and during transport with the factors associated with the hospital treatment and the ultimate patient outcome. • Linking EMS to Hospital records has been a goal articulated for a long time by the stakeholders for the trauma system in Texas

  38. Questions or comments regarding reporting patient names

  39. Additional Training Sessions • August 27 -31: Two webinars • Sept. 3-7: Two webinars • Sept. 10-14: Two webinars • Covers both uploading of data files and the basics of web data entry

  40. Updated Project Timeline • User Acceptance Testing Continues Through August 24 • August 27 - Sept 6: Pilot Testing • August 27: Data Conversion Begins • August 31: Entity accounts/users imported into new system • September 17: New system Go Live
