This article describes an interprofessional collaboration between Sanford Health and North Dakota State University that strengthens agricultural injury surveillance in the upper Midwest by using multiple sources of health data and geographic information systems (GIS) technology. We provide methodological insights and considerations for using and combining facility-level trauma registry (FLTR) data, national data sets, and GIS to identify areas with disproportionate agricultural injury prevalence. Additionally, we discuss the benefits of FLTR data, how and why it is collected, the data it contains, and how it can be combined with national datasets to fill-in surveillance gaps. Lastly, we offer recommendations for building cross-institutional and interprofessional partnerships.
本文描述了桑福德健康中心与北达科他州立大学之间的一项跨专业合作,该合作通过使用多种健康数据来源和地理信息系统(GIS)技术,加强了中西部上地区的农业伤害监测。我们提供了使用和组合医疗机构创伤登记处(FLTR)数据、国家数据集和 GIS 来识别农业伤害流行率不成比例的地区的方法学见解和考虑因素。此外,我们还讨论了 FLTR 数据的好处,它是如何以及为什么被收集的,它包含哪些数据,以及如何将其与国家数据集结合使用以填补监测空白。最后,我们提出了建立跨机构和跨专业合作关系的建议。
