The Iowa State Patient Registry is a multi-disciplinary data collection, analysis and reporting system for a variety of state and national registries including trauma and burn.

 

Iowa ImageTrend Trauma Data Registry

The Iowa ImageTrend Data Registry System allows for a web-based mechanism to record and submit required trauma data elements in a confidential electronic format. Information submitted to Iowa ImageTrend Trauma Data Registry will facilitate the development of clinical and system quality improvement, injury prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation programs.
