The New Zealand Major Trauma Registry: the foundation for a data-driven approach in a contemporary trauma system.

CONCLUSION: Despite the challenges working across multiple jurisdictions, initiation of a single-instance web-based registry has been achieved. The NZ-MTR enables New Zealand to have a national view of trauma treatment and outcomes for the first time. It will inform quality improvement and injury prevention initiatives and potentially decrease the burden of injury on all New Zealanders. PMID: 28981491 [PubMed - in process]
