Stroke The Stroke Committee created a regional data collection survey to obtain quality metrics including Door to Groin, Door to Needle, and Door In/Door Out times. The committee is collaborating with the North Central Texas Stroke Coordinators to plan and support regional stroke awareness functions and events. Systems Performance Improvement (SPI) Committee The SPI committee worked in depth with NCTTRAC staff to enhance and improve the electronic referral process within the NCTTRAC website. The committee tracked and responded to several SPI Referral Cases throughout the year. The SPI Committee, along with other NCTTRAC committees, are reviewing the potential for additional functionalities of the Regional Communications Center (RCC). Trauma The Trauma Committee recommended the use of a third party vendor to collect trauma related data within the region. The cloud based data service has collected data from all levels of trauma centers and includes over 72K records from 34 trauma-designated hospitals. The committee is utilizing this data for performance improvement efforts in our regional trauma system of care. Zones The Zones Liaison to the Board of Directors (Zones Liaison), Zone Representatives, and NCTTRAC staff are collaborating to enhance communication. Zone Representatives participate in a monthly conference call with the Zone Liaison and NCTTRAC staff regarding regional programs, initiatives, questions, concerns, participation, committee activities, etc. for discussion and updates. Additionally, the Hospital Preparedness Program funded the purchase of 248 Stop the Bleed kits, one wound packing trainer, and 20 tourniquets for each of the eight zones. The zones will distribute the Stop the Bleed kits and training supplies under the direction of an SOP developed by the Stop the Bleed Workgroup. 15
