Data Overview<\/h2>\n

QISU data is collected at the point of triage; when the triage nurse ticks yes to an injury this triggers an injury module to open for completion by the triage nurses. The injury module fields are not mandatory, allowing the triage nurses to skip part of or all the injury fields depending on clinical flow priorities. Consequently, the data may have missing codes in the injury data fields. QISU coders can supplement coded fields based on information in the injury description field (triage text in EDIS and the Injury Surveillance field in FirstNet).
\nEach record is validated and coded in accordance with the National Data Standards \u2013 Injury Surveillance (NDS-IS) (National Injury Surveillance Unit 1998). This process lags several months behind data intake. In some situations, machine validation can be used to include more recent data.<\/p>\n

There are several important notes to be considered when analysing and interpreting QISU data:<\/p>\n
