From Data to Insight: How the ABA Registry Ecosystem Works

The Data Dictionary guides what goes into the Burn Care Quality Platform (BCQP) registry, a secure system that collects standardized information about burn injuries and treatments across centers. The BCQP data powers the Burn Injury Summary Report.

BCQP = The Engine

The Burn Care Quality Platform (BCQP) is a modern, cloud-based tool for burn centers to enter, manage, and analyze patient data. It’s built specifically for burn care professionals and supports data entry and deep analytics.

Data Dictionary = The Rules

The Data Dictionary is the official guidebook that explains to burn centers what data to enter, how to define it, and how to use it. It keeps everyone on the same page, so the data coming into the system is consistent and comparable across centers.

BISR = The Output

The Burn Injury Summary Report (BISR) is a high-level, annual analysis using BCQP data (and formerly the National Burn Registry, NBR). It shows national trends in burn injuries and care. It’s powered by the clean, consistent data that BCQP collects using the definitions from the Data Dictionary.

The Evolution of ABA's Burn Care Quality Platform

The ABA’s Burn Care Quality Platform (BCQP) is more than a data system. It’s a complete quality infrastructure that empowers burn centers to improve care through better data. Developed in partnership with BData, the platform was designed to solve a long-standing challenge: ensuring data consistency, usability, and meaningful insight across a diverse and evolving network of burn centers. 

Historically, burn centers contributed data to the ABA’s National Burn Repository (NBR) using their own systems, creating variations in quality and format. BCQP addresses these gaps by offering a unified, cloud-based data collection, governance, and analytics system. For centers still using legacy registry software, BCQP provides an analytics-only option that allows full access to reports and insights without requiring a platform switch.
