Trauma report · REMA score

Documented assessment
of traumatic consequences.

A trauma report considers the medical consequences of trauma and assesses the trauma score on the basis of the available documentation and the methodological rules applicable to each matter.

01 / Scope

What the report considers.

The assessment considers documented injuries, treatment, medical progress and any persistent consequences, insofar as these are supported by the available records and can be assessed objectively.

The trauma score is determined in accordance with the applicable methodology, not by informal estimation and not according to an outcome sought by the person making the enquiry.

02 / Documentation

A coherent medical record.

  • initial medical records prepared after the event;
  • discharge summaries, medical letters and specialist recommendations;
  • imaging results, investigations and rehabilitation records;
  • subsequent assessments relevant to progress and any sequelae;
  • other documents requested after a preliminary review.

The exact list is determined individually. Missing documents may limit or delay the formulation of conclusions.

03 / Process

From enquiry to conclusions.

  1. 1

    Defining the enquiry

    The purpose of the assessment and the required competence are clarified.

  2. 2

    Reviewing the records

    The completeness, chronology and relevance of the medical documentation are considered.

  3. 3

    Assessment

    The information is analysed in relation to the applicable trauma methodology.

  4. 4

    Report

    Conclusions are written clearly and any identified limitations are stated.

04 / Independence

The score follows the evidence,
not expectations.

No value or conclusion can be promised before the assessment. The outcome depends on the individual circumstances, available documents and findings that can be supported medically.
