This document provides an overview of the Trauma Audit and Research Network (TARN). TARN collects data on severely injured patients from hospitals across the UK to support clinical audit and improve trauma care standards. It has a database of over 200,000 cases. TARN aims to analyze trauma management, provide comparative performance statistics to clinicians and hospitals, and identify areas for potential research. Participation has grown to over 50% of trauma-receiving hospitals. TARN also focuses on pediatric trauma cases through a separate initiative called TARNlet.

Business Model Innovation in Healthcare by Chris WasdenMatt Perez
Rapid technological advances, regulatory reform, and the new science of personalized medicine are the three primary factors driving unprecedented levels of innovation in the healthcare industry. These factors are forcing convergence among all members of the healthcare ecosystem in ways that enable all members to create greater value through extensive coordination, collaboration, and competition. Increasingly, providers, payers, products, and patients are leveraging mobile information technology to participate in M2M (mobile-to-mobile) digital healthcare delivery. Some of the key questions facing healthcare organizations, and particularly their CIOs, are: Where in the healthcare innovation ecosystem should we focus? What types of innovations create the most value for our organization? How do we enable greater levels of innovations from a strategic, process, and infrastructure perspectives? What are the barriers to developing and adopting innovation in the healthcare industry, and within healthcare organizations, and how do we overcome these barriers?

The Impact of Nursing Informatics on Patient Outcomes and Patient Care Efficiencies

The Impact of Nursing Informatics on Patient Outcomes and Patient Care Efficiencies
According to Agha (2014) “Information technology has been linked to productivity growth in a wide variety of sectors, and health information technology (HIT) is a leading example of an innovation with the potential to transform industry-wide productivity.” Due to evidence-based practice research with informatics in the healthcare setting has proven to be a well-known, much needed entity. Studies have shown the efficiency of technology in healthcare improved documentation for healthcare providers and nurses. Healthcare technology also provides a means for organizations to communicate with each other without even picking up a phone. Another, aspect of technology in healthcare allows the healthcare team to monitor trends and changes in a patient’s status. For example, a critical patient on a cardiac monitor would alarm to quickly notify the nurse that a critical change has occurred for timely interventions to take place. With stroke being the fifth leading cause of death in the U.S. adopting Stroke Telemedicine into practice would be innovative for any organization. Much research has shown that healthcare facilities remain untrained and unprepared for stroke care and management.
Proposed Project
The project proposed to better equip my organization with treating stroke patients is Telestroke. According to the Mayo Clinic (2019) “In telestroke, also called stroke telemedicine, doctors who have advanced training in treating strokes can use technology to treat people who have had strokes in another location.” The use of this system is said to reduce wait time for an onsite neurologist and to increase one’s chances of receiving prompt treatment for a desirable outcome. This service will also save money by preventing Medicare and Medicaid from having to pay rehabilitation cost due to disabilities and long-term care. Telestroke will also provide efficient time for Tissue Plasminogen Activator (tPA). The drug tPA is an FDA-approved medication also known as a clot buster use in treating strokes to dissolve that which may be causing an ischemic stroke. However, it is contraindicated with a hemorrhagic stroke which may cause an excessive amount of bleeding if given due to the broken vessels that may have caused the stroke. This service has brought together neurologist and emergency physicians that feel using Telestroke will reduce geographical disparities and prevent increased cost from misuse of other medical facilities.

Audit & Research
2. “A National Trauma Audit and Research Network should collect
data from all hospital Trusts that receive severely injured
patients. The development, improvement and monitoring of the
standards of care for severely injured patients would thus be
assured.”
RCS/BOA Joint report 'Better Care for the Severely Injured'
June 2000
“Over the last decade, improvement in trauma services have made
important contributions to the reduction in deaths, but there
remains evidence of significant variation in UK performance.”
Trends in Trauma Care in England and Wales 1989-97
Lancet 2000; 355:1771-75
“Audit of the results (which is likely to depend on the severity of
the case mix), treatments and the organisation pathway, is
essential.”
Report of Working Party on Management of Patients with Head Injuries
June 1999 RCS
“The overall aims of TARN fit in well with the Clinical Governance
agenda. In particular, trusts are required to put in place
arrangements for monitoring and improving the quality of health
care they provide. Continuous trauma audit is an integral part of
this process. Currently participation in TARN runs at 49 per cent
of trauma-receiving trusts. Chief Executives of those remaining
trusts are urged to consider this very useful audit tool.”

3. Trauma - a major problem
• Worldwide injury is a major public health problem. In many
countries this is unrecognised because of the paucity of available
statistics.
• In the UK, injury is the commonest cause of death between the ages
of one and forty.
• For every fatality there are at least two survivors with serious
permanent disabilities.
• There is a strong relationship, particularly with children, between
social deprivation and the incidence of injury and some evidence
that the disadvantaged are less likely to survive.
• The facilities for treating the injured and their effectiveness vary
across the UK.
An expensive problem for the country…
Every trauma death costs the nation in excess of £0.75 million and every
major injury £50,000. Cost effectiveness analysis is routinely used by
highway authorities to assess the potential effect of road safety measures.
In contrast, there is no equivalent on-going financial analysis undertaken to
measure the effectiveness of new developments in trauma care.
This is, in part, because the apportionment of costs would be difficult, but
also because there is no culture of economic appraisal of emergency health
care systems at the point of delivery. Yet the potential savings are huge.
4. TARN – Part of the Solution
The Trauma Audit & Research Network (TARN) is a collaboration of hospitals
from all over England, Wales, Ireland and other parts of Europe which
supports a group of staff on a non-profit making basis; based at the
University of Manchester, Hope Hospital, Salford.
The Trauma Network has been operating since 1989 and in 1997 became
self-funding. The TARN database is the largest trauma database in Europe
with more than 200,000 cases including over 22,000 paediatric patients.
Outcome is affected by management of the injured through all areas of the
healthcare system – ambulance services, emergency medicine, critical care,
operating theatre, radiology, ward care, rehabilitation and many other
departments.
Overall Aim
• to collect and analyse clinical and epidemiological data and thereby
to provide a statistical base to support clinical audit, to aid the
development of trauma services and to inform the research agenda.
Objectives
• Support multidisciplinary clinical audit by analysis of individual case
management
• Provide comparative statistics to clinicians about institutional
performance
• Provide summative information to local health commissioners about
the trauma workload and its management
• Provide population based statistics on the epidemiology of trauma
• Identify areas of potential research interest
• Refine methods of measuring injury severity, particularly those
concerned with disability.
All can benefit from national comparative trauma audit
5. TARN – Participation and Innovation
Participation
TARN membership has grown from an initial group of 13 hospitals to over
50% of trauma receiving hospitals in England and Wales.
Innovation – EDCR System (Electronic Data Collection and Reporting)
An online data collection and reporting system was successfully launched to
all participating Trusts (region by region) between September 2005 and
March 2006. Not only is the EDCR a versatile data collection tool, but it is
also designed to act as a robust reporting system allowing users to produce
clinical case reports as well as ad-hoc analyses on a selected range of
fields. To complement the reporting, the system is designed with a built-in
calculation for Probability of Survival (Ps) scores.
The EDCR system provides the ability to collect a far greater range of data
than ever before. Due to this, it is anticipated that it will provide a more
reflective picture of the overall process of care of the severely injured
patient.
Data security and support is of the highest importance to TARN and the
EDCR is therefore securely hosted upon a dedicated server at the University
of Manchester Computing Centre. The centre, with more than 10,000 PCs
across campus can certainly be proud of it’s status as one of the largest
academic computing facilities in Europe. It provides high-end specialist
computing services, in-depth support to the University of Manchester and a
wide range of external services to the UK and international research and
learning communities. To ensure data security, SSL certificates (Secure
Sockets Layer) have been integrated into the system. SSL is a leading
security protocol on the Internet and is widely used to validate the identity
of a web site and create an encrypted connection for sending personal
data. To further strengthen security, data remains in an encrypted format
within the database.
6. TARN – Information is Key
Clinical Case Reports
Clinical Reports are produced on a monthly basis and identify the outcome
of all patients submitted to TARN the previous month who have received
emergency care and highlights suggested cases for review. The reports can
be used for discussion at clinical audit meetings, which in the long term will
improve patient care locally, as well as contributing to staff development.
Quarterly Reports
Reports are produced every three months with process and outcome
measures for each site compared against the database. The report includes
Charts, which indicate overall hospital performance against other
participating sites.
Ad Hoc Analyses
Ad Hoc Reports and Analyses can be produced for any participating hospital
and can contribute towards both local studies and national comparisons,
which can then be used at multi-speciality meetings – a proven way of
monitoring and improving trauma care.
TARN Support
The Trauma Audit & Research Network is able to provide the following
support to all particpating sites:
• Education – STARTUP & Injury Scaling Courses
• Uniform Coding
• Validation
• Quality Control Assurance

Increases in multi disciplinary meetings
Improved communications between specialities
8. TARNlet - a paediatric focus
“Children are different” but, remarkably, very little work has been
published which permits an analysis of paediatric trauma care. The main
TARN database contains information on over 22,000 children under the
age of sixteen and has been a valuable asset. For example it has been used
to demonstrate improvements in outcome during the 1990s1
.
In the UK there are very few trauma systems designed exclusively for
children but the variation in provision could, perhaps, be described as a
natural experiment waiting to be analysed. Are paediatric trauma services
better when they are integrated within a children’s hospital or is the
system more effective when adult and children’s trauma services are
mixed?
‘TARNLET’ was established in 2000 to address these and other questions
relating to paediatric trauma care. A discrete paediatric group has been
formed.

9. EuroTARN – The European Agenda
Current Status
Trauma is a global burden and has a social and financial impact upon health
services across Europe with an estimated 5.1 million deaths across the
world in 2002. Individual trauma registries have been established to
improve patient outcome by identifying best practice and current standards
of care. However, due to the varying number of individual registries there
are no means at present to make a comparable assessment of trauma care
and outcome across Europe.
EuroTARN is a collaborative group who’s aim is to establish a European
trauma registry. The group was established back in 2002 and has a wide
European representation.
EuroTARN - Aims & Objectives
A European Trauma Registry would:
• Run concurrently with other established European registries and
assist in the development of clinical guidelines
• Help to promote high standards of care for trauma victims across
Europe
• Aid the study of the epidemiology of trauma and thereby promote a
rational approach to injury prevention
