The Trauma Reception & Resuscitation Project
Decision Support For a Clinical Environment
About the System
The Trauma Reception and Resuscitation (TR&R®) System developed in Melbourne, Australia, provides hospital trauma teams with access to computerised decision support for the first 30 minutes of trauma management. The system depends on evidence-based medical algorithms. Patient data including vital signs, confirmed and/or unconfirmed diagnoses and treatments are entered into the TR&R® System directly from a monitor or by the Trauma Nurse Leader. Based on this data, computerised algorithms prompt the Trauma Team in real time to confirm the state of the patient, perform procedures and administer drugs as well as assisting with diagnosing injuries.
