Description
2023 National Critical Research Infrastructure
This project aims to develop a comprehensive, linkable, national critical research infrastructure for injury surveillance by innovatively combining existing data pipeline arrangements (legislated by the National Health Reform Agreement) of the Australian Institute for Health and Welfare (AIHW) to collect, house and report on Australia’s health system data. Given the recognised need for external cause of injury data from Emergency Departments (ED), the AIHW has statewide and territory (S/T) support to enable injury surveillance from the ED data. We will use artificial intelligence (AI) techniques with ED data to address this unmet need, enabling monitoring, analysis, and reporting of injury data to facilitate evidence-based decision-making, policy formulation, and resource allocation for improved injury prevention, research and response.
