The 2023 Trauma Index was designed to be a point of reference for both hospital and trauma centers who want to identify where they align with other organizations throughout the U.S. and where they can improve.

The Trauma Index uses ESO data compiled from nearly 596 participating organizations and represents 968,538 patient records from January 1 through December 31, 2022.

Use it as a guide to help your own data answer questions such as:

• Should we evaluate how we use whole blood versus packed red blood cells for traumatic injuries?
• Are we administering antibiotics early enough to reduce infections and complications when treating open long bone fractures?
• Are we moving geriatric patients with hip fractures to the OR quickly enough or do we need to reevaluate our practices?
• What do different values of systolic blood pressure and shock index indicate in penetrating trauma victims?
• How effectively are we at mitigating and reducing common hospital events (such as unplanned admission to the ICU and delirium) compared to national data?
• When it comes to the Injury Severity Score, how do our mortality rates align with the national average?

The 2022 Trauma Index is a point of reference for hospitals and trauma centers to identify which metrics are in alignment with other organizations around the country and which metrics represent an opportunity for improvement–or at least further assessment and evaluation.

The 2022 Trauma Index uses ESO data compiled from nearly 550 participating hospitals and represents 884,456 patient records from January 1, 2021, through December 31, 2021.

Here are some of the questions the 2022 Trauma Index will help you ask and investigate using your own data:

• Should my organization evaluate how we use whole blood versus packed red blood cells for traumatic injuries?
• In the case of open long bone fractures, is my organization administering antibiotics early enough to reduce the risk of infection and complications?
• How quickly is my organization moving geriatric patients with hip fractures from the Emergency Department to the Operating Room? Do we need to evaluate our processes?
• How effectively is my organization mitigating and reducing common hospital events (such as unplanned admission to the ICU and delirium) compared to national data?
• Do my organization’s mortality rates compared to Injury Severity Score align with national data?

Two heads are better than one, they say. When it comes to planning for the year ahead, we think a whole team and millions of data points are even better. That’s exactly what the ESO healthcare technology and research teams have done to form the 2021 ESO Hospital Predictions. 

4 Predictions in Our Hospital Trends Report

In 2021, healthcare providers will continue to face challenges posed by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Even with vaccine rollout, emergency care will be key in turning the tide on this unprecedented public health emergency. That is why ESO experts anticipate interoperability will continue to be a major priority for emergency departments. 

Download our report to get more insight on four trends that will impact hospitals in 2021:

1. COVID-19  will continue to have a major financial impact on hospitals.  
2. Surveillance (and surveillance data) will be of critical importance.  
3. Preparedness models will evolve.  
4. Technology and data become even more important.  

The next year will bring new challenges hospital leaders will need to navigate as well as opportunities to invest in technology and tools that foster interoperability. That is why our report will help you practically prepare and respond to these trends. To get the latest hospital trends and predictions, download the full 2021 Hospital Predictions guide today.
