Welcome to the Emergency Medical Services and Trauma Registries (EMSTR). EMSTR includes four registries:
- The EMS Registry;
- The acute Traumatic Injury Registry;
- The Traumatic Brain Injury Registry / Spinal Cord Injury Registry; and
- The Submersion Registry.
EMSTR is a statewide passive surveillance system that collects reportable event data from EMS providers, hospitals, justices of the peace, medical examiners, and rehabilitation facilities. Texas is home to one of the largest EMS registries in the U.S. with more than 4 million EMS runs received annually.
