Injury Surveillance

Query purpose: 

The Outdoor Falls query is designed to capture falls that occur outdoors within approximately 48 hours of the encounter and excludes activities more likely to result in a fall or intentionally caused the fall (e.g., hockey or assault). It is inclusive for all age groups and while it can be used year-round, it may be most beneficial during or after extreme weather or after human-caused events (e.g., stage collapse and panic results in falls).

Query purpose: 

The goal of this definition is to detect emergency department (ED) visits related to snowmobile or motorized snow bike traffic-related or non-traffic-related accident injuries. With this information, public health agencies can monitor the burden and trends of ED visits related to these types of accidents, understand the types of injuries that result, and identify possible places/methods for prevention.
