DI announces a renewed engagement with the trauma registry community—offering expanded reporting, performance improvement, interoperability, and legacy data access solutions.
Dear Trauma Registry Professionals,
We wanted to reach out to share how genuinely excited we are to once again be serving the trauma registry community in a more visible, front-facing way.
The short version of this note is straightforward:
Digital Innovation (DI) has services and capabilities that can assist all trauma centers, health systems, and regional registry initiatives — with or without requiring a registry transition, and without disrupting your current registry or contractual commitments.
Our mission remains exactly what it has always been:
to provide technology and services that empower those on the front lines of improving outcomes and saving lives.
Our ask is equally simple.
If you have ever used a trauma registry that operated under the Digital Innovation corporate umbrella — whether DI, CDM, or Lancet — we invite you to reach out. Even just to say hello. Opening a line of dialogue allows us to make you fully aware of the many options and benefits available to you today — not only through DI’s products, but also through our significant philanthropic and technology-assistance initiatives.
We say this with deep respect: trauma professionals are among the most detail-oriented people on the planet. With that in mind, we’ve included a detailed postscript below for those who would like to connect more of the dots.
Thank you for the work you do every day.
We’re grateful to walk alongside you again in support of this industry.
Warm regards,
The DI Team

Postscript — For Those Who’d Like the Full Context
For nearly 40 years, Digital Innovation served as both an innovator and a stabilizing force across the trauma registry industry. During that time, DI supported highly customized registry configurations for virtually every compliance requirement, delivered exceptional and responsive customer service, and provided a strong, sustainable value proposition. These have always been the hallmarks of the DI brand — and they remain so today.
While our industry presence evolved, DI never stopped innovating and never disbanded the leadership, architecture, or engineering teams behind it. We are now positioned — stronger than ever — to deliver again on each of those pillars.
We also want to clearly state that Digital Innovation (DI) is fully independent. Any confusion around this is understandable given past industry dynamics, but today DI stands on its own, ready to earn — and re-earn — trust through the work we do every day.
Because every trauma center’s situation is unique, we want to speak briefly to several common scenarios.
If You Are a Current DI V7 Client
Welcome back. We are excited to be working with you and are committed to supporting you every day — across compliance, full legacy data migration, restoration of reporting functionality, performance improvement, and research workflows.
We have a growing set of industry partnerships that will continue to bring additional value throughout the year, and we look forward to fully restoring everything you relied on in the past — and more.
If You Previously Used DI, CDM, or Lancet
…and later transitioned to another registry platform, we would welcome the opportunity to speak with you.
Through the next-generation DI Report Writer, we can restore full access to your historical registry data — including every data element, pick-list value, customized field, and longitudinal record — across the entire history of your registry. This includes highly customized environments such as PTOS, HCA, and numerous customized V5 variants.
The DI Report Writer can operate side-by-side with your current registry, without requiring a contract change or system replacement. Much like other third-party analytics tools, it can consume the same data feeds — while delivering trauma-specific analytics, research support, and reporting capabilities that general-purpose BI tools were never designed to provide.
These capabilities compound: restoring legacy access while enabling longitudinal analysis across both historical and current registry data.
There is no obligation to engage. However, there is a simple utility your IT team can run — at no cost — that creates a secure “time capsule,” preserving the option for DI services at any point in the future.
Performance Improvement, Specialty Modules, and Interoperability
In addition to reporting, DI offers a full Performance Improvement (PI) Module, including dashboards and workflows that can collaborate with your TQIP data and clinical education partners — even while working alongside your existing registry.
We can also restore equivalent functionality for prior built-in or customized reports, and support specialty modules including Burn, Emergency General Surgery, TBI, Hand & Eye, POPIMS, and electronic applications for survey and site review.
DI supports EMR integration, including FHIR, and in many cases can continue to ingest or export formats originally developed from DI-based registry solutions.
If You Are Still Evaluating Your Long-Term Cloud Options
We encourage you simply to learn about DI V7. We are committed to working constructively within the realities of procurement, contracts, and institutional timelines to arrive at practical, low-risk solutions. It all starts with understanding what is possible.
Above all, our goal is to help trauma centers succeed — regardless of where they are today.
If any part of this resonates, we would welcome the opportunity to connect, share information, and answer questions at your convenience.
We’re grateful to be back — and excited for what lies ahead.
