HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
TraumaBank will run on most Windows based PC's. It is not a resource intensive program and will run on most PC's quite easily. It is also a networkable program and will run on any Windows compatible network. A SERVER is not a necessity. One of the workstations can comfortably be used as a SERVER.
The following is a recommended hardware specification:
This is a typical multi-user TraumaBank installation. The SERVER PC may also be a workstation. The EMERGENCY UNIT has a computer which is used to enter all patient data at the time of admission. If the patient is admitted to ICU, the ICU staff will call up the patient's records and enter all relevant ICU data. The DOCTOR'S OFFICE PC is used to enter all the ISS injuries, procedures, complications with all relevant ICD10 codes. The MEETING ROOM PC is used to project data to a screen for relevant meetings.
The above is purely a suggested means of using TraumaBank. It can be used in any way relevant to your hospital.
TRAUMABANK SECURITY
We recognise that the security of a Trauma Registry is of the utmost importance. We have therefore integrated a secure yet flexible user access method. The design and aim of the TraumaBank security module was as follows:
The system should operate on a Login Name and Password basis to prevent unauthorised access.
Each user should have his own Login Name allowing him to change only the information he has been authorised to.
There should be the ability to give other users 'View Only' rights and not be able to change information.
Deleting a patient's full records should not be an easy process that people could do by mistake or on purpose.
TraumaBank addresses all these security issues with ease. The program's security module works as follows:
Each user is added to the system assigning that user a User Name and Password.
Each user can be assigned rights on a per screen basis allowing individual View, Change Add or Delete rights.
Simply highlighting a patient and pressing Delete will not delete that patient if he/she has any data added to his/her records.

Should you have any other security questions or suggestions please Email the address at the bottom of the screen. We greatly appreciate any feedback.

Someone should not be able to copy the TraumaBank folder from a hospital and run the program to gain access to the data elsewhere.
