Abstract:
A knowledge gap exists regarding the impact of organizational parameters of trauma centers and patient outcomes. This is partially due to such organizational parameters being understudied. The Ontology of Organizational Structures of Trauma Centers and Trauma Systems (OOSTT) provides a controlled vocabulary to study that specific area. It is used in tools created by the TIPTOE project to provide trauma stakeholders with novel insights on role of organizational parameters and patient outcomes. This paper reports the extension of OOSTT to cover relevant patient outcome measures.
