The objective of JAMIE is to have by the end of 2013 in the majority of MSs a common hospital based surveillance injury system in operation enabling EC and MSs to monitor injury risks. JAMIE will:
- refine the current methodology for collecting hospital based injury data with a view to allow data collection also in less resourced settings and to ensure that the quality of data will meet the EuroStat-quality requirements; and
- incorporate in 26 out of the eligible countries (EU31) into the European IDB monitoring system and into the IDB-exchange mechanism.

The Joint Action will make available national capacities and resources for applying a pro-active approach to Member States, by offering assistance: such as standardized trainings for national data administrators, twinning programmes, on-site consultations and country specific coaching for countries which still have to start or restart a system, continuous supervision, and joint monitoring actions levels of implementation in each MS.
