How do you code "cutting edge"? Forum for discussion of current injury data issues |
|
| This session will continue the tradition of the past decade of APHA meetings, where section members discuss current issues in injury data. The following topics will be addressed: 1) Dealing with ICD-10 (ICD-9/ICD-10 Comparability Study, ICD-10 matrix, user complications arising from ICD-10 mortality data). 2) Using WISQARS (strengths and limitations for data analysis of fatal and nonfatal injuries) 3) Improving injury surveillance at the state level (injury indicators project, CDC/STIPDA surveillance workgroup efforts to improve state-based injury morbidity surveillance). 4) Improving international injury surveillance (WHO world violence prevention report, WHO injury surveillance guidelines, ICECI, ICE projects) 5) Exploring new key data issues (linking nature of injury with body region - Barell matrix; improving data on health outcomes (e.g., disability) and costs of injury; assessing unconventional data collection systems for policy change, and others which may arise in 2002) |
| Learning Objectives: Session objectives: 1) increase injury data expertise among APHA members; 2) draw on participants' expertise to improve data systems & uses; 3) address difficult issues and explore potential solutions; 4) create active networks among injury data providers & users. |
