Documenting the Cause of Injury

 

How do we know if there is an injury problem?

In most sites, injuries are among the fatal and non-fatal conditions that are monitored. This systematic, ongoing collection of data is termed surveillance. Surveillance data are useful for indicating the magnitude of the problem, identifying new problems, examining trends, and assessing the success of injury prevention efforts. These data are primarily gathered from information on death certificates and hospital discharge forms.

OUR ENTERPRISE’s POLICY 

Our Enterprise operates a complex industry involving a wide variety of skills, system and activities producing a wide range of products, goods and services.

The Enterprise is committed to 

     
   

Information from these forms is classified by state vital records or hospital medical records professionals into standard categories. The nature of each injury (brain injury, fracture of a bone in the forearm, burn to the foot, etc.) and its cause (motor vehicle crash, fall, etc.) are assigned alphanumeric codes to allow efficient storage and retrieval of the information. As a rule, the system for classification of death records in the United States is the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), developed by the World Health Organization. The system for documenting non-fatal injuries is based upon the ICD but was enhanced and expanded by the National Center for Health  Statistics.

Hospital physicians and medical examiners provide the information necessary to classify an injury's nature and cause. Documentation of the nature of injury is usually straightforward. Documentation of the information necessary to classify the cause and circumstances (e.g. activity and locale at the time of injury) of an injury-related incident is more problematic. Frequently, insufficient information is written into the hospital record or on the death certificate to properly classify the cause of injury. This limits the quality and specificity of the data on injury causes. Although these data are imperfect and can be improved, they are nonetheless quite useful (2,3).

 

Policy & Details

Emergency physicians, nurses, and EMTs shall receive training in capturing information about the intent, causes, and circumstance of injury-related incidents and the appropriate documentation of such in the EMS report or medical record.

 

Physicians, nurses, and paramedics are required to attend continuing education courses in their specialty. Some of these courses contain information about the mechanism and biomechanics of motor vehicle trauma and how this may effect treatment. However, the applicability of this information to injury prevention is seldom discussed. It is important to ensure that health workers are made aware of the benefits of uniform and reliable recording of the circumstances of each injury on patient records so that this information may be properly coded. Only then will this information be useful for injury prevention.

held in the closed position. Factory installed guards shall not be removed.

 If PPE is to be used to reduce the exposure of employees to hazards, a PPE program is needed to be initialized and maintained. That’s our case.

In this respect, our program contains identification and evaluation of hazards in the workplace and if use of PPE is an appropriate control measure; if PPE is to be used, how it is selected, maintained and its use evaluated; training of employees using the PPE; and vigilance of the program to determine its effectiveness in preventing employee injury or illness.
