EC Communication
• Requirements: Quantifying the problems, identifying risk factors, measuring the effectiveness of interventions
• Goals: Provide a comprehensive picture of all injury risks in MS as well as in the Community
• Tools: Provide register on causes and circumstances, assess health risks regarding different consequences (indicators), combine data from different sources (injury information system)
Working together to make Europe a safer place
EU Injury Surveillance
• Current injury surveillance in the EU compares to an unfinished puzzle
• comprised of various different data sources
• that provide only rough estimates on the size of morbidity
• with varying levels of detail
• and not comparable across injury sectors
Working together to make Europe a safer place
What is current the IDB?
Working together to make Europe a safer place
• A web database for home and leisure accidental injuries in Europe
• National Data Administrators collect injury data in selected hospitals at national level (according to EC guidelines)
• Unique feature is information about external causes, circumstances, activities, involved products and services
• NDAs provide DG Sanco with this data and provide user right. DG Sanco makes the data centrally accessible
Advantagesand Disadvantages
+• Economic data collection• Simple Coordination• Focus on severe injuries• Depth of information• Flexibility of management • Permanent System
-• Problems of
representativity
• Only broad national estimates
• Rare events hard to catch
• Fatal cases missing

IDB Data Access
Working together to make Europe a safer place
Follow up by recent EC IDB Projects
• IDB-1: PHP2003: „Maintenance, Development and Promotion the IDB“
• IDB-2: PHP2005: „Extending IDB Data Networks“
• IDB-3: PHP2006: „Towards a Comprehensive Injury Information System“ (submitted)
• DG Consumer Safety: Improving IDB for surveillance of product and service related accidents (tender)
Working together to make Europe a safer place
Main IDB Projects Goals• Standardised data quality control and
upload applied (IDB1)
• Incidence rates and national estimates provided (IDB1)
• Data collection extended to “All Injuries” (IBD1)
• “All injury” data collection piloted in majority of new MS (IBD1)
• Public IDB Access provided (IBD1)
• First of series of IDB based „EU Injury Report“ published (IDB1)
• IDB Data Protection Policy established (IDB1)Working

• IDB product and service module tested and established (tender)
• IDB Promotion Session for national stakeholders established (IDB2)
• “All injury” data collection as standard
• IDB pilots consolidated

IDB Examples – Benchmarking
Working together to make Europe a safer place
Main IDB Projects Goals
• 25 Member States collecting IDB data
• IDB complemented by other data for a Comprehensive Injury Info System (IDB3)
• Represenativity in all participating countries
• Routine IDB / BOI Reports and ECHI Indicators (IDB3)
• Data Clearing House in function

Injury Data Clearing House
Working together to make Europe a safer place
The aim of a common information system on accidents and injuries is to provide all stakeholders in the Community and Member State level with the best available statistical information about the magnitude of the problem, the affected population groups, and external causes
Remaining challenges
• Participation and sustainable maintenance
• Full switch to “All Injury” IDB
• Country representativity and enhanced Incidence Rate calculation
• Improving the product and service dimension
• Injury Data Clearing HouseWorking together to make Europe a safer place
Support for NDAs• IDB public access and help desk support
(DG Sanco)• Technical support for IDB data collection
and delivery • IDB “All Injury” coding support • IDB Help desk support (DG Sanco)• Participation in yearly technical IDB
workshop (IDB NDA training session) • Communication and marketing support for
addressing national stake holders
Working together to make Europe a safer place
Follow up by govermental experts
• Explore the opportunity to establish a national IDB, nominate a NDA - if not done already
• Cooperate with your NDA in order to stabilize the Injury Database in your country - if not done already
• Provide data for the European IDB• Use the data on national level - for
advocacy, research, and prevention• Help with improving, broadening, and
deepening the system
