The Pennsylvania Trauma Systems Foundation has existed for five years. A concept that in 1984 seemed like a futuristic dream has been accomplished. Standards for trauma center accreditation have been developed, and trauma centers are accredited in a fair, unbiased, and systematic manner. Pennsylvania's voluntary system could not have succeeded without the full support of the hospital, medical, and nursing communities. Trauma centers are not edifices alone; the commitment of the institutions and their personnel was phenomenal. Pennsylvania has the largest and most comprehensive trauma registry in terms of complete data compliance in the United States. Data collected have been used for quality assurance, the accreditation process, and trauma prevention and research. The commitment by medical record professionals to develop and maintain individual hospital trauma registries as well as the PTSF trauma registry has been enormous. The future of trauma system development in Pennsylvania lies in the data collection system and the research in trauma systems and trauma care that is generated from the database.
宾夕法尼亚创伤系统基金会已经成立五年了。1984年时看似未来主义梦想的一个概念如今已得以实现。创伤中心认证标准已经制定出来,并且创伤中心是以公平、公正且系统的方式获得认证的。如果没有医院、医疗及护理界的全力支持,宾夕法尼亚的自愿体系不可能取得成功。创伤中心并非仅仅是建筑物;各机构及其人员的投入是非凡的。就完整的数据合规性而言,宾夕法尼亚拥有美国最大且最全面的创伤登记系统。所收集的数据已用于质量保证、认证过程以及创伤预防与研究。病历专业人员为开发和维护各医院的创伤登记系统以及宾夕法尼亚创伤系统基金会的创伤登记系统所做出的投入是巨大的。宾夕法尼亚创伤系统发展的未来取决于数据收集系统以及从该数据库开展的创伤系统与创伤护理研究。
