“…(The history of the CHIRPP is described elsewhere. [20][21][22] ) The evolution of the CHIRPP is also in keeping with the Government of Canada's agenda to strive to use ''new technologies to improve networking and access to data'' via ''efficient, interconnected and nimble processes, structures and systems.'' 23 Following a brief description of recent changes to the CHIRPP codebook (a reference manual describing the variables and codes), we discuss the innovative, web-based eCHIRPP platform and its key successes and future directions.…”

“…Beyond published evaluations of some systems, including the CHIRPP, the information on modernizing injury surveillance systems is scarce. 18,19,21,24 The scarcity of knowledge on new technological tools for injury surveillance has also only recently been acknowledged, 25 so this is a timely contribution to the discussion.…”

“…Values of 40 to 49 represent chemical injuries, 50 to 59 represent thermal injuries and 60 to 69 represent electrical injuries. A study of the quality of CHIRPP data conducted in 1992 revealed the CHEO to have a much lower rate of injury reporting in the CHIRPP compared with other hospitals (11). The number of burn injuries reported to the CHIRPP from the CHEO in the following years increased dramatically (8433 observations with 111 burns in 1992 to 12,865 observations with 198 burns in 1993), and for this reason the study period in this investigation begins in 1993.…”

“…Information contained in the database includes patient demographic information as well as clinical information. The standardized forms are then sent to Ottawa for coding and entry into a central database (11). One of the fields within the database categorizes the mechanism of injury.…”

“…Certains groupes sont sousreprésentés, en particulier les adolescents âgés et les résidents de régions rurales ou éloignées, ce qui fait que les types de blessures et les groupes d'emploi propres à ces régions et à ces populations sont susceptibles d'être également sous-estimés dans notre analyse. Les blessures nécessitant une admission sont également davantage susceptibles d'être moins importantes dans les établissements visés par le SCHIRPT, ce qui fait que nos estimations sous-évaluent probablement la fréquence de blessures plus graves chez les jeunes 16 . Il reste que les données caractéristiques des blessures recueillies à partir de plusieurs établisse-ments faisant partie du SCHIRPT et pré-sumés comme étant pleinement repré-sentatifs de la population ont révélé une corrélation élevée avec les données recueillies à partir d'une enquête nationale axée sur la population.…”
