Description
The Victorian Orthopaedic Trauma Outcomes Registry was initially funded as a pilot project by the Victorian Trauma Foundation in 2003. It first started as a collaborative project between The Alfred, Royal Melbourne Hospital and the Department of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine at Monash University. The registry was expanded to include the Geelong Hospital and the Northern Hospital in 2007. It operates as a sentinel site registry and is a comprehensive and robust monitoring system for orthopaedic trauma in Victoria. The overarching aims of the Victorian Orthopaedic Trauma Registry are to:
- Monitor orthopaedic injury management, treatment, approaches and outcomes
- Identify variations in orthopaedic clinical practice
- Identify specific injuries, procedures and patient populations at risk of poor outcomes
- Monitor the use of orthopaedic implants and their outcomes
