Impact of different surveillance models on the quality of injury surveillance / 中华疾病控制杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To find out the impact of different surveillance models on the quality of injury surveillance and to provide a scientific basis for improving the quality of injury surveillance based in emergency departments and based on the basic data for evaluating the quality and advancing its method.Methods On the premise of the same surveillance,process and method,the injury reports the two trained groups(part-time and full-time)filled out within one month from July 28th to August 27th in 2007 were collected.They were processed in the computer,examined,and finally compared.Results The omitted rate of PTSIS was 31.44%,higher than that of FTSIS,especially during the latter part of night when it was easier for the two models to be omitted.There was a difference in error in the report-fillingPart-time group was often found to have omitted "telephone number","the cause of injury" and "intent",while the full-time group more readily left out "injury severity","patient disposition",and "responder".The part-time group did a better job on "the mechanism of injury" and "disposition",and the integrity of their report-filling was greater than that of the full-time group by 12.84%.Conclusions The omitted rate of PTSIS is higher than that of FTSIS,while the quality of the report from PTSIS is better than that of FTSIS.Therefore in the condition of the limited resources,part-time groups' active participation in the injury surveillance should be encouraged.The full-time groups are expected to be trained for it if resources permit.
