Completeness
Indiana Trauma Registry
Timeliness
The Hospital Discharge database, also maintained by the ISDH, contains all records of patients cared for in Indiana hospitals. We
compared patient records from the ITR with the Hospital Discharge database to know how complete is the ITR’s data.
The Indiana Trauma Registry (ITR) monthly report is a dashboard style report for the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI) and
any other party concerned about trauma in Indiana. This report highlights the four data quality measures for the ICJI grant: com-
pleteness, timeliness, uniformity, integration and accessibility. This report uses data within the ITR, with an emphasis on motor ve-
hicle collisions (MVC).
Timeliness increases as facilities wait until the data submission deadline to submit data to the ITR. Hospitals are asked to report
data on the national trauma (TQIP) reporting schedule.
The decrease in timeliness from January 2017 until April 2017 is due to only timely reports being provided to the ITR during this
time frame, typically from non-trauma hospitals and early reporting trauma centers.
Monthly Report for April 2017
Uniformity In April we sent out the thirty-sixth monthly quiz for the inter-rater reliability study. Forty-three registrars
completed the quiz from 25 hospitals. The percent of correct answers was 68% for the entire quiz and the av-
erage free-marginal Kappa (measure of consistency) 0.27. We plan to collect data for four months and track
trends in percent of correct answers by individuals and as a group over time as well as their consistency. Oth-
er activities to improve the uniformity of data includes trauma registrar training throughout the state and at the
Indiana State Department of Health.
Integration The number of linked EMS to trauma cases was 2,457 for Q3 2016 data. Trauma data is due on a quarterly
basis.
Indiana Trauma Registry
Accessibility The average time to complete data requests was 1 days for aggregate requests (1 total) and 1.3 days for identi-
fiable requests (3 total). There were no self-requests during April.
