External cause
Description

Data Element Concept: Injury event—external cause Value domain attributes Representational attributes Classification scheme: International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision, Australian Modification 8th edition Representation class: Code Data type: String Format: ANN{.N[N]} Maximum character length: 6 Data set specification specific attributes Injury surveillance DSS 2013- DSS specific information: As a minimum requirement, the external cause codes must be listed in the ICD-10-AM (3rd edition) classification. Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: This code must be used in conjunction with an injury or poisoning code and can be used with other disease codes. The external cause should be coded to the complete ICD-10-AM classification. An external cause code should be sequenced following the related injury or poisoning code, or following the group of codes, if more than one injury or condition has resulted from this external cause. Provision should be made to record more than one external cause if appropriate. External cause codes in the range V00 to Y84 must be accompanied by a place of occurrence code. External cause codes V00 to Y34 must be accompanied by an activity code. Comments: Enables categorisation of injury and poisoning according to factors important for injury control. This information is necessary for defining and monitoring injury control targets, injury costing and identifying cases for in-depth research. It is also used as a quality of care indicator of adverse patient outcomes. An extended activity code is being developed in consultation with the National Injury Surveillance Unit, Flinders University, Adelaide.

Narrative description of injury event
Description

Injury event—external cause, text X[X(99)] Identifying and definitional attributes Short name: Narrative description of injury event METeOR identifier: 268946 Registration status: Health, Standard 01/03/2005 Tasmanian Health, Draft 23/07/2012 Definition: A textual description of the environmental event, circumstance or condition as the cause of injury, poisoning and other adverse effect. Data Element Concept: Injury event—external cause Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Text Data type: String Format: X[X(99)] Maximum character length: 100 Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: Write a brief description of how the injury occurred. It should indicate what went wrong (the breakdown event); the mechanism by which this event led to injury; and the object(s) or substance(s) most important in the event. The type of place at which the event occurred, and the activity of the person who was injured should be indicated. Comments: The narrative of the injury event is very important to injury control workers as it identifies features of the event not revealed by coded data. This is a basic item for injury surveillance. The text description of the injury event is structured to indicate context, place, what went wrong and how the event resulted in injury. Further information on the national injury surveillance program can be obtained from the National Injury Surveillance Unit, Flinders University, Adelaide.

Nature of main injury (non-admitted patient)
Description

Injury event—nature of main injury, non-admitted patient code NN{.N} Identifying and definitional attributes Short name: Nature of main injury (non-admitted patient) METeOR identifier: 268947 Registration status: Health, Standard 01/03/2005 Tasmanian Health, Draft 23/07/2012 Definition: The nature of the injury chiefly responsible for the attendance of the non-admitted patient at the health care facility, at represented by a code. Data Element Concept: Injury event—nature of main injury Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Code Data type: String Format: NN{.N} Maximum character length: 4 Permissible values: Value Meaning 01 Superficial (excludes eye injury code 13) 02 Open wound (excludes eye injury code 13) 03 Fracture (excludes dental injury code 21) 04 Dislocation (includes ruptured disc, cartilage, ligament) 05 Sprain or strain 06 Injury to nerve (includes spinal cord; excludes intracranial injury code 20) 07 Injury to blood vessel 08 Injury to muscle or tendon 09 Crushing injury 10 Traumatic amputation (includes partial amputation) 11 Injury to internal organ 12 Burn or corrosion (excludes eye injury code 13) 13 Eye injury (includes burns, excludes foreign body in external eye code 14.1 ) 14.1 Foreign body in external eye 14.2 Foreign body in ear canal 14.3 Foreign body in nose 14.4 Foreign body in respiratory tract (excludes foreign body in nose code 14.3) 14.5 Foreign body in alimentary tract 14.6 Foreign body in genitourinary tract 14.7 Foreign body in soft tissue 14.9 Foreign body, other/unspecified 20 Intracranial injury (includes concussion) 21 Dental injury (includes fractured tooth) 22 Drowning, immersion 23 Asphyxia or other threat to breathing (excludes drowning immersion code 22) 24 Electrical injury 25 Poisoning, toxic effect (excludes effect of venom, or any insect bite code 26) 26 Effect of venom, or any insect bite 27 Other specified nature of injury 28 Injury of unspecified nature 29 Multiple injuries of more than one 'nature' 30 No injury detected Data set specification specific attributes Injury surveillance DSS 2013- DSS specific information: Left justified, zero filled. Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: If the full ICD-10-AM code is used to code the injury, this metadata item is not required (see metadata items principal diagnosis and additional diagnosis) When coding to the full ICD-10-AM code is not possible, use this metadata item with the items external cause of injury-non admitted patient, external cause of injury-human intent and bodily location of main injury. Select the code which best characterises the nature of the injury chiefly responsible for the attendance, on the basis of the information available at the time it is recorded. If two or more categories are judged to be equally appropriate, select the one that comes first in the code list. A major injury, if present, should always be coded rather than a minor injury. If a major injury has been sustained (e.g. a fractured femur), along with one or more minor injuries (e.g. some small abrasions), the major injury should be coded in preference to coding 'multiple injuries'. As a general guide, an injury which, on its own, would be unlikely to have led to the attendance may be regarded as 'minor'. If the nature of the injury code is 01 to 12 or 26 to 29 then the metadata item Bodily location of main injury should be used to record the bodily location of the injury. If another code is used, bodily location is implicit or meaningless. Bodily location of main injury, category 22 may be used as a filler to indicate that specific body region is not required. Comments: Injury diagnosis is necessary for purposes including epidemiological research, casemix studies and planning. This metadata item together with the metadata item bodily location of the main injury indicates the diagnosis. This metadata item is related to the ICD-10-AM injury and poisoning classification. However, coding to the full ICD-10-AM injury and poisoning classification (see metadata item principal diagnosis) is not available in most settings where basic injury surveillance is undertaken. This item, in combination with the metadata item Bodily location of main injury, is a practicable alternative. Data coded to the full ICD-10-AM codes can be aggregated to match this item, facilitating data comparison. Further information on the national injury surveillance program can be obtained from the National Injury Surveillance Unit, Flinders University, Adelaide.
