Data Sources for EMS Trauma Systems

Reliable data is key to improving patient outcomes, supporting research, and establishing operational and educational standards. The Office of EMS-Trauma Systems supports the use of data and our goal is to provide information on reliable sources available to stakeholders. 

EMS and Trauma Registries

The Emergency Medical Services and Trauma Registries (EMS/TR) is made up of four registries: the EMS Registry; the acute Traumatic Injury Registry; the Traumatic Brain Injury Registry / Spinal Cord Injury Registry; and the Submersion Registry. The EMS/TR is a statewide passive surveillance system that collects reportable event data from EMS providers, hospitals, Justices of the Peace, Medical Examiners, and rehabilitation facilities. Texas is home to one of the largest EMS registries in the U.S. with more than 4 million EMS runs received annually.
