                Objective:                 The BHTRM Project aims at studying the epidemiology of TRM in the city of Belo                   Horizonte and providing the means to monitor these patients.                                           Method:                 To assess the efficacy and solvability of the project, two groups of patients                   treated at the Jo&amp;#227;o XXIII Hospital were compared in two distinct periods. Group 1                   - from May 1, 2011 to July 31, 2011, months of project initiation and Group 2 -                   from December 1, 2012 to February 28, 2013.                                           Results:                 Despite the 34% increase in the number of assisted patients, there is a 30% drop                   in the average number of days of hospitalization, as well as a decrease in the                   average days waiting for surgery of patients requiring surgical treatment, from                   10.9 to 4.84, a drop of 56%.                                           Conclusion:                 BHTRM Project is a useful tool in public health management. It optimizes the                   treatment of patients with spinal trauma by decreasing the time between admission                   and surgery. Also provides active monitoring of patient care and ensures better                   integration of rehabilitation care.</jats:p
