Major Trauma Audit National Report 2014-2015

Major Trauma Audit (MTA) was established in the National Office of Clinical Audit (NOCA) in 2013. It specifically focuses on the care provided to the more severely injured patients in our healthcare system. NOCA has engaged the internationally recognised Trauma Audit and Research Network (TARN) to provide its methodological approach for MTA in Ireland. Eligible trauma receiving hospitals were identified by NOCA with the HSE National Emergency Medicine Programme. NOCA now has 26 trauma receiving hospitals participating in MTA. This has occurred on a phased basis since October 2013 to January 2016.
