Trauma System Committee Registry Workgroup

Mission

The workgroup will serve in an advisory and liaison role between the state EMS/Trauma Registry, GETAC and stakeholders. The workgroup’s goal is to enhance the data available to ensure an effective, accountable, reliable and data-driven EMS, trauma and acute care system for Texas.

Representation

The workgroup will be co-chaired by a representative from DSHS’s Office of EMS/Trauma System Coordination, and a representative from DSHS’s Environmental Epidemiology and Disease Registries Section, and the chair of the Trauma Systems Committee. One representative will be appointed by each of the following groups: each GETAC committee; the Regional Advisory Council Chairs; the Texas Trauma Coordinators Forum; and the Texas EMS, Trauma, and Acute Care Foundation. Two at-large representatives will be chosen, with an emphasis on prior registry experience.
