There are four objectives of the trauma registry: performance improvement, enhanced hospital operations, injury prevention, and medical research. In July 2006, MSDH deployed "Collector" Trauma Registry software to all hospitals that participated in the Mississippi Trauma Care System. Today, every Mississippi licensed acute care facility (hospital) having an organized emergency service or department uses the Collector software to submit their data to the State Trauma Registry.
Collector is a trauma registry system that helps users meet changing requirements of collection and evaluation of trauma data for quality assurance, accreditation, management, prevention, and research. Collector is a complete data management and report generating package which includes a user-friendly data entry and verification system, querying capabilities and integration with expert coding software. Collector offers coding, database, and analysis capabilities.
In addition to its use as the trauma registry, Collector is also used as the state's burn registry and the registry for Traumatic Brain and Spinal Cord Injuries (TBI/SCI).
