National TRACS Software
NATIONAL TRACS® (NTRACS) software is a commercial,
microcomputer-based software package for the collection, storage, analysis and
reporting of trauma patient information on an individual, regional and state
level. Developed at the request of the American College of Surgeon's (ACS)
Committee on Trauma (COT), the registry is intended to help its participants
improve the quality and cost-effectiveness of care and to aid in outcomes
research.
The NATIONAL TRACS Software Development Group contributed
significant input, creating a software package with a strong clinical
component. In February 2005, Digital Innovation and the American College of
Surgeons entered into a strategic business relationship. A part of this
relationship agreement is the transition of the NTRACS software product from
ACS to DI. DI's expertise in the development and maintenance of medical
software applications, especially trauma registries, is expected to provide a
strong technical foundation for the NTRACS product, as well as maintain a
long-term upgrade path for the NTRACS solution.
