PRANA
Is creating a secure national research platform to link data across the full patient pathway.
Hosted within the Wessex Secure Data Environment, it brings together information from ambulance services, hospitals, registries, mortality records and other datasets to enable trusted research that improves prevention, healthcare and public policy.
OUR GOVERNED ACTIVITIES
Maintaining health, improving care
Data Collection
We collect and link patient information for their whole care pathway. These data are anonymised and then can be used to inform quality improvement of patient care and for research.
Research Collaboration
We collaborate with healthcare professionals and research institutions to conduct studies to:
-
Prevent disease
-
Develop treatments
-
Improve Health
ABOUT US
Our intent
The PRANA registry intends to enable data from critically ill and injured patients’ whole care pathways (from moment of recognition of illness or injury onwards) and those involved in road traffic collisions to be utilised to improve understanding of disease, improve diagnosis and treatments, reduce risk for patients and clinicians, enable future service planning and improvement, evaluate the effectiveness of health policy, identify targets for disease prevention and inform prevention of injury and illness.
Our Key Progress Highlights
-
National recognition in the Government’s Road Safety Strategy.
-
Successful linkage of approximately 400,000 police and hospital records.
-
HDRS investment to develop reusable data capabilities.
