Slide 5 of 12
Notes:
One of the first approaches to injury monitoring was that based upon death certificates. In the United States, the National Center for Health Statistics maintains information on deaths and death certificates. Take a look through their site and try to identify the number of injury deaths in the United States. Most of the information that NCHS maintains is dependent upon ICD codes. Take a look at the ICD materials available at this site, and review the E-codes.
