INTEGRIS Closing
The completion of the INTEGRIS evaluation report also marks the end of the project on 30/06/2011. On this occasion the project coordinators would like to thank all project partners, the executive board members, advisory members and, last not least, the FP7 project officers for their great contributions, helpful comments and advice, and efficient support.
It is a very advantageous situation that most of the INTEGRIS developments and recommendations can directly be integrated into the DG SANCO project
JAMIE
that aims to establish injury surveillance in the EU on a permanent basis. We think that all INTEGRIS pioneers and collaborators can really be proud to have contributed to that success.
Also, many of the INTEGRIS team will have the chance to continue and successfully complete this work within JAMIE (for more information on JAMIE please visit

Best wishes!

Launch of INTEGRIS Database
The INTEGRIS Database is now available for viewing!
The public access to the INTEGRIS database is now online that directly or indirectly shows all the INTEGRIS features that have been proposed for an enhanced hospital based injury surveillance in the EU:
1. Integration of external cause information (intent, activity, place, mechanism by EU IDB Standard) with routine diagnostic information (for admitted patients by WHO ICD Standard)
2. Injury disability indicators for temporary and lifelong consequences, enabling a better health impact assessment of injuries and an enhanced comparability of results across countries (through a focus on more severe injuries that, with a high probability, need hospitalization in all health care systems)
3. Minimum and full data set definition allowing for two different levels of hospital participation and data provision depending on available resources
4. Quarterly data upload - directly from the INTEGRIS/IDB hospitals or via a national Data Administrator - provide for a more timely and dynamic injury reporting
5. Customized access and query levels for different user groups: an easy-to-use public access to the INTEGRIS minimum data level, a research access with an advanced tool for all INTEGRIS data levels, an access for each hospital to their complete data and to all INTEGRIS data levels with a simplified query tool
Further features comprise an ECHI conform indicator on Home and Leisure Accidents, ESS conform metadata and estimates of national incidence rates with confidence intervals
