Oregon Trauma Registry
Data Request Policy and Procedure
Oregon Trauma Registry (OTR) reports are generated from patients entered into the trauma system or who meet criteria for inclusion in the registry. Patients suffering traumatic injury who do not meet inclusion criteria, who are treated at non-trauma hospitals, or declared dead at the scene are not included in these reports. Data is submitted to the Oregon Trauma Registry by 45 accredited trauma centers, and represents a subset of Oregon's patients who suffer traumatic injury.

In order to facilitate requests for data from the Oregon Trauma Registry (OTR), while maintaining confidentiality pursuant to ORS 431.627(4)(a) and 41.675, specific procedures for such requests must be adhered to. Click here to learn more about ORS 431.627
