Our Mission

To collect and translate—often in collaboration with others—sports participation, injury and treatment data into more effective programs, policies, rules, and education aimed at preventing, mitigating, and treating sports injuries more effectively.

Our Approach

The Datalys Center team includes experts and scientists whose careers have focused on making sports safer through the prevention of injuries.  The prevention of injuries begins with understanding the problem through ongoing and consistent injury documentation.  The Datalys Center is committed to providing organizations and policy makers with unbiased data and interpretation that can be used to make data driven policy decisions.  

The Datalys Center has developed a unique approach to collecting injury surveillance data.  This unique approach employs a Common Data Element standard that allows data to be gathered from a variety of commercial electronic health record systems in a consistent and reliable manner across many remote sites.  In addition, the Datalys Center has developed a custom application called the Datalys Center Injury Surveillance Tool that can be customized to fit an organization’s data collection needs.
