The N.C. Trauma Registry (NCTR) collects data from 15 hospitals in the state. Eleven of the hospitals are designated as Level I, II, or III trauma centers. State designated trauma centers are required to submit data to the NCTR which is maintained by the Office of Emergency Medical Services. The overall mission of the registry is to collect information on the injured patients in North Carolina for the purposes of performance improvement, outcomes measurement, resource utilization, injury prevention, and clinical research. This web page provides documents related to the use of trauma registry data and trauma research.
