All Traffic Related v2 - Washington State Department of Health, 2019

Objective: This is an updated to the All Traffic-related submitted in 2018. The goal is to capture all traffic-related injuries presenting for healthcare, regardless of intent or vehicle type, to allow monitoring of long-term trends in traffic-related injuries as well as short-term aberrations due to holidays, events, or weather.

Syndromic Surveillance System: ESSENCE (NSSP)

Data sources: Emergency Department and Outpatient Clinic Visits

Fields queried: SubSyndrome Free Text, Chief Complaint History, Admit Reason Code, Admit Reason Combo, Discharge Diagnosis

Includes text strings as well as all "Motor vehicle-traffic" ICD-9 and ICD-10 CM codes as defined here: http://ftp.cdc.gov/pub/TBI/injury/icd10/ICD-10-CM_Non-Poisoning_Cause_Matrix.xlsx and https://www.doh.wa.gov/portals/1/Documents/2900/ICD-9_Codes.pdf. This update includes inclusion of "Motor Vehicle Traffic" ICD-9 codes, increased specificity of ICD-10-CM search terms to avoid capturing ICD-9-CM codes that are not traffic-related, addition of ICD-10-CM codes that were missed in v1 (e.g., ^V299x^, ^V19.9x^,^V199x^), negation criteria to avoid records that are captured due to mention of "trunk" (which gets matched to "truck" by the chief complaint processor and tagged as MotorVehicle), added the term "traffic", additional crash-related free text terms, and change to discharge diagnosis instead of disharge diagnosis history in thinking that's the most complete/accurate set of codes.
