The Global Tracheostomy Collaborative has harnessed the power of data science to improve patient care in various continents. This webinar will explore the GTC database version 3.0 highlighting changes and additions to the database. This session will familiarize people new to the database with the outline of the database and will enable people experienced with using previous versions to become more comfortable with the details of this version. We will review the numerous improvements made to enhance ease of data entry and functionality for the front-end user. We will also demonstrate how the additions and changes to the database can strengthen the impact of the data collected. Specifically we will review changes made to the sections on tracheostomy-related adverse events and tracheostomy-related complications, which we have linked with the World Health Organization's level of harm classification system. We will also review changes made to the pediatric co-morbidity data fields and reasons for admission, as well as the expanded communication and swallowing sections, in response to our member hospitals suggestions. We will use this forum to identify challenges and solutions.
