Jared Elijah E. Munoz, Val Randolf M. Madrid

Trauma injury is one of the leading causes of mortality in the Philippines and the current system of registering, storing, and retrieving trauma patient data poses a problem with the uniformity and accessibility of these records. The study developed a prototype centralized trauma patient registry, along with a backend server for communicating with the database, and a web application for administrators. Registered users have controlled access to the information in the database depending on their assigned roles. The evaluation of the backend and the web application prototype showed that the APIs can answer requests in average response time, and the admin web app has usability considered ”above average”. The development of a centralized trauma patient registry database allows real-time access to patient records and systematic comparisons to different health facilities. Moreover, related institutions such as the Department of Health can connect to the centralized registry database to generate annual trends in trauma injury.
