Web Based Injury Surveillance System (WBISS) for Road Traffic Injuries under WHO guidelines

在大多数国家，道路交通伤害是一个重大但被忽视的公共卫生问题。由于其经济成本很高，而且该国缺乏紧急创伤护理，因此预防道路交通伤害极为重要。为了预防道路交通伤害，必须提供关于碰撞和伤害的模式、模式和趋势的准确信息。然而，发展中国家现有的监测系统在接收、记录和传播道路交通事故和伤害信息方面存在巨大缺陷。因此，我们设计了一个基于Web的伤害监测系统（WBISS），以克服这些缺陷，并提高部门间的协调，道路交通伤害预防。本系统采用WHO伤害监测指南和标准伤害量表设计。该系统利用现有资源，不会给各国政府造成额外负担。该WBISS从医院和相关警察局收集关于道路交通伤害的数据。数据将在线输入基于网络的数据库。WBISS将提供有关道路交通伤害模式和决定因素的准确、完整、及时的数据，并将帮助实施及时的干预措施。这一系统还将有助于各国经常更新关于道路交通伤害的知识。

Road traffic injuries are a major, but neglected public health problem in most of the countries. As their economic costs are high and emergency trauma care is lacking in the country, the prevention of the road traffic injuries is extremely important. To prevent road traffic injuries, accurate information are mandatory on modes, patterns and trends of crashes and injuries. However, existing surveillance systems in developing countries carry enormous deficiencies in receiving, recording and disseminating information of road traffic crashes and injuries. Hence, we designed a Web based injury surveillance system (WBISS) to overcome these deficiencies and to improve the inter-sector coordination for road traffic injury prevention. We adopted to WHO injury surveillance guidelines and used standard injury scales in designing this system. The system utilizes available resources without causing extra burden to government of each country. This WBISS collects data on road traffic injuries from hospitals and relevant police stations. Data will be entered online to a Web based data base. WBISS will provide accurate, complete, timely data on patterns and determinants of road traffic injuries and will help to implement timely interventions. This system will also aid the frequent updating of the knowledge on road traffic injuries in the each country.
