Burn and trauma researchers have access to an expanding ecosystem of clinical databases—but knowing which resource to use, how to combine datasets, and how to translate data into meaningful discoveries can be challenging.
Join experts in burn research,
Clifford Sheckter, MD and
Sam Mandell, MD and BData CEO
Bart Phillips, MS for an interactive webinar exploring the current landscape of burn and trauma databases and how investigators are using them to advance science, improve quality, and shape future clinical trials.
You'll learn:
- How major databases—including BCQP, NTDB, HCUP, the Burn Model System National Database, and state trauma registries—can be leveraged individually and together to answer important research questions.
- What's new with the Burn Care Quality Platform (BCQP), including recent enhancements, emerging capabilities, and examples of impactful publications.
- Practical strategies for using BCQP to benchmark performance and drive quality improvement initiatives.
- Key considerations for designing rigorous database studies, avoiding common pitfalls, and strengthening causal inference in observational research.
