Advancing trauma care through innovative research and evidence-based medical practices

Ongoing Projects

Trauma Registry – CMC – Pilot Study (T-ReCS)

In association with TCI

TRECS is a comprehensive digital platform designed to systematically capture, store, and analyze trauma patient data at our Ranipet Level-1 Trauma Center. The platform enables monitoring of clinical outcomes, identification of gaps in care, and improvement of patient management protocols.

Key Features:

•Patient Demographics & Injury Details: Captures age, gender, mechanism of injury, and severity scoring
•Clinical Data Tracking: Includes vital signs at admission, laboratory investigations, imaging, operative interventions, and ICU care
•Outcome Analysis: Tracks mortality, morbidity, complications, length of stay, and functional recovery
•Quality Improvement: Supports audits, departmental reviews, and research projects
•Research Support: TRECS data contributes to peer-reviewed publications, national trauma policies, and predictive modeling

Trauma Quality Improvement Programme (TQIP)

In association with ICMR

TQIP is an evidence-based framework adopted to ensure excellence in patient care through continuous monitoring and benchmarking. The program integrates data-driven approaches to improve safety, reduce complications, and standardize protocols.

Key Features:

•Performance Metrics: Tracks key indicators including time to intervention, mortality, ICU stay, and surgical outcomes
•Benchmarking: Compares departmental outcomes with national and international trauma centers
•Clinical Audits: Regularly conducted to assess adherence to trauma protocols
•Education & Training: Provides feedback loops for residents, nursing staff, and trauma coordinators
•Quality Initiatives: Implements targeted interventions for overstay management and Golden Hour optimization
