Completing the Trauma Registry Form The nurse caring for the patient clicks on the Trauma Registry Icon on the tracker and completes the Trauma Registry Form. *Note: Form data can be retrieved from the EMS run sheet or by interviewing the patient. GCS MUST BE COMPLETED ON ALL PATIENTS WHO MEET TRAUMA CRITERIA Valid GCS indicates GCS was assessed on admission and the patient was not sedated, not intubated, and did not have obstruction to the eye. GCS is documented in IView. *If Valid GCS is chosen then the bottom three options cannot be selected. TRAUMA ALERT TYPE This answer will be NTA (not a trauma alert) the majority of the time. This field is asking if EMS called a Trauma alert or if the hospital called a trauma alert. (Baptist does not call Trauma alerts and is not a Trauma center. 4
Transport Mode: If any ambulance option is selected, the EMS fields will open. Inter-Facility Transfer: Answering YES opens the Referring Hospital Arrival/Discharge Date/time fields.
