This session will continue the tradition of the past decade of APHA meetings during which section members discuss current issues in injury data. This session was formally known as the data roundtable. The intent of this session is to increase data expertise among participants, address difficult data issues and explore potential solutions, and develop and disseminate advocacy strategies for data quality improvement. The format is a traditional session with questions to attendees to contemplate in advance of the meeting. This will encourage active discussion and information exchange. The learning objectives are: 1. Identify how to enter one's own national, State, or local data on deaths hospitalizations, emergency department visits-treated and released into WISQARS to get current cost of injury estimates. 2. Discuss how to balance the need for backwards compatibility between ICD-11 and ICD-10 with the need to progress to more homogeneous matrix categories. 3. Describe the definition and presentation of poisoning surveillance data. 4. Demonstrate how to get new data elements and codes into administrative hospital data.

Learning Areas:
Occupational health and safety
Public health or related laws, regulations, standards, or guidelines
