CNTR's GIS Analysis Can Help Trauma Systems Work Smarter

Trauma investigators, or trauma systems as a whole, looking at issues surrounding access to care can benefit from CNTR’s Geographical Information Systems (GIS) analytical support.

With a master’s level GIS Analyst on staff who has extensive experience working with state-level EMS, medical examiner offices, national databanks, census data, and more, CNTR input can reveal trauma system vulnerabilities and opportunities and lead to smart decisions that save lives and lead to a better use of resources.

Contact Nick Medrano today to learn more about GIS analytical support.

HELP CNTR CELEBRATE FIVE YEARS!

It’s hard to believe, but the Coalition for National Trauma Research is celebrating its Five-Year Anniversary in 2025!

CNTR began in 2014 as a coalition of five research and surgical societies working together to advocate for federal trauma research funding. But it wasn’t until 2020 that the National Trauma Institute formally reorganized to become CNTR, establishing a new Board and articulating a broader mission.

Since then we've grown to 24 member organizations reaching more than 232,000 multidisciplinary trauma research and care professionals and members of the survivor community. We've diversified our portfolio of funded projects, built a suite of essential investigator resources and developed a prioritized trauma research road map to close gaps and save lives.

Help us take this coalition to the next level and earn a commemorative lapel pin!

AHRQ Requests Input for Systematic Review of EMS Blood Transfusion

The Evidence-based Practice Center (EPC) Program at the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has posted the research protocol for Prehospital EMS Blood Transfusion and Fluid Interventions for Hemorrhagic Shock, available on the Effective Healthcare website.

Recognizing the significant impact that prehospital blood transfusion may have in improving trauma outcomes after a crash, NHTSA's Office of Emergency Medical Services encourages members of the EMS community to participate in the systematic review process by submitting information about their blood programs and interventions. The deadline for submissions is December 26, 2024.
