57-2002. Trauma registry -- Definitions. When used in this chapter:
(1) "Confidential information" means information which may identify a patient, health care facility or health care practitioner.
(2) "Contractor" means that individual, partnership, corporation or other entity performing trauma registry services under a contractual agreement with the department.
(3) "Deidentified information" means records and information contained in the trauma registry, including compilations and analyses thereof, which does not contain information which might identify a patient, health care facility or health care practitioner.
(4) "Department" means the bureau of emergency medical services of the Idaho department of health and welfare.
(5) "Trauma" is the result of an act or event that damages, harms or hurts a human being resulting in intentional or unintentional damage to the body resulting from acute exposure to mechanical, thermal, electrical, or chemical energy or from the absence of such essentials as heat or oxygen.
(6) "Trauma registry" means the population based data system that provides ongoing and systematic collection, analysis, interpretation, and dissemination of information related to injury for system improvement, prevention and research activities. Elements in the registry shall describe the nature and scope of the injury problem, identify the incidence and prevalence of traumatic injury, severity of injury, performance of out-of-hospital and hospital emergency medical systems, patient outcome, and the impact of trauma on the health care system.
(7) "Trauma system" means the organized approach to treating injured patients that establishes and promotes standards for patient transportation, equipment, and information analysis for effective and coordinated trauma care. Trauma systems represent a continuum of care that is fully integrated into the emergency medical services system and is a coordinated effort between out-of-hospital and hospital providers with the close cooperation of medical specialists in each phase of care. The focus is on prevention, coordination of acute care, and aggressive rehabilitation. Ideally, systems are designed to be inclusive of all injured patients requiring acute care facilities, striving to meet the needs of the patient, regardless of the severity of injury, geographic location or population density. Ultimately, a trauma system seeks to prevent injuries from happening and the reduction of death and disability when it does happen.
