Trauma Service
Trauma Registry Data
The Westmead Hospital Trauma Registry was established in February 1985 and by the millenium year it contains data on over 40,000 patients. Information stored in the registry includes demographic information together with pre-hospital data, in hospital management, injuries, complications and discharge status.
The availability of the information relating to injury severity and outcome enables the identification of causes of the greatest degree of disability.
The aim of most trauma registries is to monitor the epidemiology, management and outcomes of major trauma patients and to identify opportunities for prevention and improved management.
Westead Hospital is part of the Sydney West Area Health Service and is responsible for providing primary and secondary health care to approximately 729,942 (stats from Area Health Service Profile 2003) people living in the local government areas (LGAs) of Auburn, Baulkham Hills, Blacktown, Holroyd and Parramatta, and tertiary care to the entire western region for an estimated population of 1.7 million people. The population of the Area is increasing by 1.7% per year.
The aim of the Trauma Service at Westmead Hospital is to improve the management of trauma in our hospital and in our community.
