Information and the technology to rapidly transmit, analyze,
document, and disperse this information are increasing
arithmetically, if not logarithmi cally. Arguably, no discipline
better exemplifies this trend than medicine. It can be further
argued that care of the trauma patient is one of the better
examples of informatics and the potential benefit to the health
profession als who care for these patients. Maull and Augenstein
have provided us with a primer on informatics and its use in trauma
care. The subject matter is timely and covers the gamut of trauma
care from prehospital to rehabilitation. Who will benefit from
trauma informatics? A simple answer would be anyone who takes care
of trauma patients. From a broader perspective, however, at least
three examples illustrate how trauma informatics can be used today
to exert a positive effect on patient outcome. The first example is
care of combat casualties, including battlefield resuscitation,
evacuation, acute care, and ultimate return to the continental
United States. Current technology is such that via global
positioning satellite, a corpsman could transmit to a remote area
the vital signs and pertinent physical findings of a combat
casualty. Furthermore, the location of the corpsman and the casu
alty would be precisely known, and consultation and destination
disposition would be possible. The injured person, when admitted to
a combat support hospital, could be continuously monitored and
additional remote consulta tion obtained."
