Purpose of SQI

The purpose of the SQI is to conduct injury data investigations supportive of promoting and advancing uniform injury case definitions, improving data quality and advancing methodology. The result of SQI work should be to advance the consensus process for pdeveloping and implementing injury surveillance activities and to develop and/or improve standardized procedures for specific causes of injury.

First Year SQI Multistate Project

Infant and Early Childhood Injury Special Emphasis Report Guidance Document

To create a guidance document that walks each state through the process to create a brief, meaningful childhood injury data product for professionals working on the childhood home visitation program that complements the client-level data that the program has. This guidance document will include instructions, definitions, has. This guidance document will include instructions, definitions, and template of formatted results for the minimum recommended using the required datasets of emergency department visits, hospitalizations, and deaths.

ECHV Special Emphasis Report

Special Emphasis Report:

Infant and Early Childhood Injury

HRSA MIECHV Benchmarks

Evidence-Based Model Crosswalk to Benchmarks Model Alignment with Benchmarks

Updated: 2/8/2012

BENCHMARK 1: Maternal & Newborn Health

BENCHMARK 2: Child Injuries, Child Abuse, Neglect, or BENCHMARK 2: Child Injuries, Child Abuse, Neglect, or Maltreatment and Reduction of Emergency Department Visits

BENCHMARK 3: School Readiness and Achievement

BENCHMARK 4: Crime or Domestic Violence

BENCHMARK 5: Family Economic Self-Sufficiency

BENCHMARK 6: Coordination and Referrals for Other Community Resources and Supports

HRSA BENCHMARK 2: Seven Constructs

Visits for children to the emergency department from all causes

Visits of mothers to the emergency department from all causes

Information provided or training of participants on prevention of child injuries

Incidences of child injuries requiring medical treatment

Reported suspected maltreatment for children in the program

Reported substantiated maltreatment for children in the program

First-time victims of maltreatment for children in the program

The Process of Developing Report Guidance: Discovering Variety Among Programs

Learned about our own home visiting programs

Discussed variation among our states programs

Reviewed benchmarks within each of the SQI states

Emphasized the need for flexibility in analysis plans and report options

The Process of Developing Report Guidance: Exploring Childhood Injury Data

Brainstormed data source options

Discussed age grouping options

Ran preliminary data results to make decisions about the injury report

Came to consensus on recommendations

First Year Report Guidance will focus on the Death Hospitalizations and First Year Report Guidance will focus on the Death, Hospitalizations and Emergency Department Visits

Causes of infant death are different than the causes of early childhood death and should be analyzed separately if possible

Need to balance providing useful detailed information with protecting confidentiality
