  To assess the strengths and limitations of hospital discharge data for injury surveillance and to recommend standard methods for analyzing and reporting such data, an Injury Surveillance Workgroup was convened by STIPDA in 2001, with representatives from the State and Territorial Injury Prevention Directors Association (STIPDA); the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists; the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control and the National Center for Health Statistics, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; and the National Association of Injury Control Research Centers. The Workgroup recommended standard processes for analyzing and reporting hospital discharge data by state injury prevention programs and others to facilitate comparisons of state hospital discharge rates for injury surveillance. - p. 2
