The report focused on trending injury data such as penetrating trauma, fractures, hospital events and the Injury Severity Score summary
AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–ESO, the leading data and software company serving hospitals, emergency medical services (EMS), fire departments, state and federal agencies, today announced the findings of its 2023 ESO Trauma Index, a report focused on key trends across hospital trauma programs nationwide. The Index is based on data from nearly 600 hospitals across the United States that are part of the ESO Data Collaborative, representing one of the world’s largest deidentified trauma registry datasets. The report looks at a number of measures, including how many trauma patients needed and received whole blood based on the Early Blood Transfusion Needs Score (EBTNS); time to antibiotics for patients with open long bone fractures and time to surgery for patients with hip fractures; most frequent hospital events; and patients with penetrating trauma. Data for the Index is from January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2022.
“This year we introduced the penetrating trauma section in response to a national rise in such cases. In doing so, we analyzed patterns in systolic blood pressure (SBP) and Shock Index (SI). Generally lower SBP and higher SI scores indicate a higher risk of death,” said Garrett D. Hall. BSN, RN, CSTR, CAISS, Senior Director of Hospital and Registry Programs for ESO. These measures serve as crucial tools for triaging and prioritizing patients, allowing clinicians to identity those who require more urgent interventions.”
Hall continued, “By analyzing key trends nationwide, hospitals, including those in rural areas, can assess, adapt, transform and enhance their benchmarking practices and patient care delivery, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes. The trauma index is fundamental in helping us understand the data and what is happening in the clinical world.”
Key Findings Include:
“Our critical access hospital faced some challenges aligning administration and staff to our trauma center mission,” said Roberta Berry, Trauma Programs Manager at Gila Medical Center, a Level IV trauma center in rural New Mexico. “Introducing the Trauma Index to our program was transformative. The Index clarifies and defines the data we work with and gives us a starting benchmark to gauge our performance against others nationwide. Recognizing its potential, we’ve shared the Index with fellow trauma centers across the state so they can also use the data to foster benchmark-driven improvements in their own facilities.”
