Queensland Injury Surveillance Unit

Starting in1988, Queensland Injury Surveillance Unit (QISU) formerly known as Queensland Injury Surveillance Prevention Program (QISPP) originally collected urban injury data from seven hospitals in Brisbane’s southside as well as periodically collecting rural data. In 1998 QISU expanded and upgraded its surveillance activity to include new sites and convert paper-based collections to electronic data. One hundred percent of data is now collected electronically.

There has been a shift in participating hospitals over time.
