About the Tennessee Trauma Registry Public Dashboard

The Tennessee Trauma Registry Public Dashboard below provides an interactive view of statewide trauma data submitted by designated Tennessee trauma centers and comprehensive regional pediatric centers. It is designed to help healthcare professionals, researchers, policymakers, community partners, and the public explore trends in traumatic injury across the state.

Users can view information on injury volume, patient demographics, injury patterns, outcomes, and geographic distribution through interactive charts, maps, and filters. Data are updated periodically as trauma centers submit and validate registry information in accordance with Tennessee Trauma Registry requirements. The dashboard reflects data reported by Tennessee-designated trauma centers and comprehensive regional pediatric centers that meet state trauma registry inclusion criteria. Because facilities continue to validate and submit data throughout the year, recently completed reporting periods may change as additional records are received and finalized. Comparisons should be interpreted with consideration for differences in patient populations, injury severity, and reporting periods.
