    North Carolina Trauma Registry (NCTR) Data Dictionary NCTR Data Dictionary Introduction This document, the North Carolina Trauma Registry (NCTR) Data Dictionary, was created using the data dictionary published by the National Trauma Registry of the American College of Surgeons (NTRACS), with modifications specific to the North Carolina Trauma Registry. It is to be used in lieu of the NTRACS data It provides a brief summary of every data point used in North Carolina, and notes where there are custom options standard throughout the State. It does not cover those data items that are customized or by each site specifically and not used statewide. Some data points are not downloaded to the State, i.e., the Central Data Collection Agency. These datapoints are noted with a "d" in the Download Scenario column. Therefore, the statewide registry does not include these data points, although each individual hospital has them. The column labeled Download Scenario contains information on whether datapoints are to be downloaded to the Central Data Collection Agency (the State) and whether datapoints are sent to the National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB). This column contains one of three values: h d: This variable is not to be downloaded to the State and is not sent to NTDB h s: This variable is to be downloaded to the State, but the data are not sent to NTDB h s,n: This variable is to be downloaded to the State, and may be forwarded to the NTDB. For the NC Custom Data Points, field type and size information have been included in the Definitions column.

  • Annual Report for 2017 Was Sent out to All the Member Organizations and Will Be Available on the CAMTS Website
    Year 2018 4124 Clemson Blvd, Anderson, SC 29621 www.camts.org O -864 287-4177 From the Executive Director The year 2018 was a busy year of expansion and consolidation. For example, we accredited 58 medical transport services. This does not seem like a large number but because we often have many sites combined under the same program’s survey – these 58 programs included 271 bases. For initial accreditation site visits to new applicants, this means we visit every base. For reaccreditations, we will visit new or changed bases and usually include an unannounced base visit. This involves a great deal of planning, logistics, and travel to remote bases with as many as 5 site surveyors at times. Gigi Randall, our Administrative Assistant, and our experienced lead site surveyors do a wonderful job of scheduling and coordinating these visits. We changed the policy last year to accommodate these large services under one owner/operator. Combined services may apply as one service if they have the same mission, management, policies, medical direction and protocols, and a common Part 135 certificate. Shelley Dixon, our bookkeeper assistant, keeps the new and reaccrediting services represented correctly and promptly on the camts.org website. In addition to complex site surveys, we completed the standards and process for Special Operations – Medical Retrieval which were accepted by both CAMTS and CAMTS EU Board of Directors and is available worldwide. Special Operations – Medical Retrieval includes criteria for services that provide tactical rescue or “SWAT: call-outs and citizen recovery from potentially unstable environments. There are already 2 applications for this specific accreditation.

  • 2019 Annual Report
    ANNUAL REPORT 2019 Year 2019 4124 Clemson Blvd, Anderson, SC 29621 www.camts.org O -864 287-4177 From the Executive Director The year 2019 was a busy year overall. We accredited 62 medical transport services and conducted the first site visit for a Special Operations – Medical retrieval service. The Special Operations standards were developed with input from ex-military and rescue experts to address citizen recovery operations that are often contracted by the government to assist military and paramilitary operations in remote parts of the world. The standards were approved by both CAMTS and CAMTS Global boards of directors. CAMTS and CAMTS Global have joint meetings each July. We added Dr. Dhun Damrongsak, the medical director from BDMS Emergency Medical Services in Bangkok to the CAMTS Global board this year as an ad hoc member. BDMS Emergency Medical Services is a dual accredited service (CAMTS-CAMTS Global) offering rotor wing, fixed wing, surface and marine transport in Thailand and surrounding countries in Asia. I had the honor of speaking at the BDMS annual conference in August. The title of my presentation was “Medical Transport Standards and Expansion into Asia” (pictured on page 17 of this report). We changed the reporting for Safety Culture Survey results to the programs this year. The results are now reported in graphs that compare the six cultures that impact the program’s overall safety culture. The chart also compares the program’s results to the average results of other programs received to date. In the future, programs will be able to compare results from the previous suite visit with current results as well.
