| dc.description | There are 26 receiving trauma hospitals in Ireland. Since 2003, a number of reports have identified the need for trauma audit as a critical aspect of an integrated trauma system, to access the care and outcomes of severely injured patients in Ireland. The HSE’s Emergency Medicine Programme, working with relevant surgical programmes, recommended the establishment of major trauma audit (MTA) in the National Office of Clinical Audit (NOCA). The primary purpose of NOCA is to establish sustainable clinical audit programmes, such as the MTA, at national level that will improve outcomes for patients in hospitals in Ireland. NOCA functions through an executive team providing managerial and operational support to deliver the objectives of the NOCA Governance Board. The NOCA Governance Board is an independent voluntary Board made up of representatives from the health service including the medical training bodies, nursing and patient advocacy representatives. The MTA application for NCEC prioritisation and quality assurance is through Stream 3 of the NCEC process (NCEC, 2015). | en_US |
