I think I could take that one on. I think the ideal surveillance system is a system that captures injuries close to their real times so we could react quite quickly if we saw something happening.
The ideal surveillance system would include the demographic information we would like to have to help us plan injury prevention programs such as those in Atlantic Canada, Quebec, and across the country. It would include all emergency department visits in every emergency department across the country. For rural and remote communities, where people do not have access to an emergency doctor at the time of the injury, it would include information from the nursing stations and other places.
I think what Dr. Groff mentioned about the national coronial database is extremely important. It's only through the richness of data like that and in-depth death reviews that we can really understand what happens.
I'll give you a brief example. British Columbia used the coronial database to look at pedestrian injuries, and they found that drivers who killed child pedestrians were seven times more likely than other drivers to have had a previous driving infraction on their record. So the potential for intervening with the drivers, instead of trying to teach kids how to cross streets, is huge.
To sum up the injury surveillance system, it would be from the emergency department and the health unit, all the way up to the death data.
