Intimate Partner Violence-Related Emergency Department and Hospital Visits in California Following the ICD-10-CM Transition, 2016-2018.

With the transition to the International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM), additional research is needed to understand which diagnostic codes for intimate partner violence (IPV) are being used. The current study examined characteristics of IPV visits and frequency of diagnostic codes to identify IPV in all emergency department (ED) and inpatient hospital visits for adults in California from 2016-2018, after ICD-10-CM implementation. Five ICD-10-CM codes outlined in the Uniform Data System Reporting Instructions were used to identify IPV.

The Children's Data Network: Harnessing the scientific potential of linked administrative data to inform children's programs and policies.

The Children's Data Network (CDN) is a data and research collaborative focused on the linkage and analysis of administrative records. In partnership with public agencies, philanthropic funders, affiliated researchers, and community stakeholders, we seek to generate knowledge and advance evidence-rich policies that improve the health, safety, and well-being of the children of California. Given our experience negotiating access to and working with existing administrative data (and importantly, data stewards), the CDN has demonstrated its ability to perform cost-effective and rigorous record linkage, answer time-sensitive policy- and program-related questions, and build the public sector's capacity to do the same.
