I would like a dataset showing all ACC claims that meet the following criteria: - associated with playing or practicing a hard ball sport - indoor cricket, outdoor cricket, lacrosse, hockey, ice hockey, baseball, softball + any others I may have missed - excluding read codes associated with sprains and strains, traumatic amputations, and burns - incurred in calendar years 2022-2024 inclusive (3 years) I would like to see each ACC claim as a row of the dataset, with the following columns: - sport associated with injury - date of injury - primary injury diagnosis - Read Code - primary injury site - total costs associated with claim - "how did the injury happen" per ACC form - "did the accident occur at work" (to identify injury rates in professional players) per ACC form
Inadequate protective equipment for hard ball sports
Allowing targeted product development into the areas of highest need, within the area of hard ball sports
Dataset submitted
The requested information is attached, here: https://catalogue.data.govt.nz/dataset/gov-042526-injury-data-regarding-hard-ball-sports-2022-2024 We are unable to provide data on how the injury happened We are refusing this part of your request as extracting the data would require us to manually read through all individual claim files, requiring substantial collation and research. This decision has been made under section 18(f) of the Act. In doing so, we considered extending our timeframe to respond and charging (as allowed under the Act). However, it was determined that the resources required to extract the data would have a significant impact on the everyday functions of the team(s) involved. Please note An enquiry requesting a full dataset of claim level information for individual clients is considered research and needs to be approved by our ACC Ethics Panel. Our ACC external website has information about the ethics panel, refer to https://www.acc.co.nz/about-us/research/#our-research-ethics-committee. If you would like to discuss this further or have any questions, send an email to ethics@acc.co.nz
