The WHO Clinical Registry: Emergency and Trauma Care is a web-based platform for aggregation and analysis of case-based data from emergency care visits. The platform is free to users and provides a range of automated reports to facilitate quality improvement, system planning and scholarly publication. Standardized audit filters allow rapid identification of cases where simple process changes can save lives. The registry is currently available for use with acute injury and general emergency conditions.
The WHO Standardized Clinical Forms for Emergency Care Visits provide a simple mechanism for collecting the registry data points, and directly improve clinical care by ensuring a systematic approach to every acutely ill and injured person.
