Building Core Competencies
28 January 2026 | Sheraton Hotel, Doha
The Trauma Registry Workshop was designed to strengthen the knowledge and practical skills needed to collect, code, validate, and use trauma data. The programme focused on the role of trauma registries in supporting patient care, quality improvement, research, and benchmarking.
Designed for nurses, physicians, allied health professionals, trauma registrars, coders, documentation and data specialists, and students, the workshop combined interactive discussions with demonstrations, hands-on simulation, case scenarios, and assessment.
The programme covered:

Trauma registry foundations: Registry structure and functions, national trauma data standards, inclusion criteria, and data requirements.
-
Data abstraction and coding: Demographics, injury mechanisms, prehospital information, procedures, pre-existing conditions, hospital events, and patient outcomes, including ICD-10-CM, ICD-10-PCS, and Abbreviated Injury Scale coding.
-
Data quality and stewardship: Validation, confidentiality, registry performance measurement, and continuing education for registrars.
-
Using registry data: Applications in quality improvement, research, benchmarking, and evaluating the wider impact of trauma systems.
Led by faculty from Hamad Medical Corporation’s trauma services and clinical data management teams, the programme aimed to build core competencies in accurate data abstraction, standardised coding, and reliable trauma registry management.
