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.

The aim was to plan, develop, produce and test an educational and training tool addressed to public health professionals and occupational physicians that would enable them in the planning, implementation and evaluation of health promotion activities targeting women at the work place. While focusing on the health issues of working women which are related to work, emphasis was given on the positive effects that health promotion in the work environment, targeted at women, can have in the health habits of the close environment, family and communities of women workers and employees. It was therefore proposed an educational-training tool in accordance to policy developments and implementation in the field of Public Health at the Community level, considering the education and training of public health professionals and occupational physicians to new issues and topics, central to the EU`s objectives related to public health and workplace health promotion.

The project`s ultimate aim is to achieve better health for mothers and babies by building a European perinatal health surveillance system to provide evidence to policy makers, clinicians and users for informed decision-making. We aim to implement a financially sustainable approach to the production and use of perinatal health data in which (1) core EURO-PERISTAT indicators are included in routine statistical systems through EUROSTAT and ECHIM (European Community Health Indicators Monitoring) and (2) a European Network of experts from participating countries is created to monitor other EURO-PERISTAT indicators and to analyse trends and inequalities in health and care for dissemination to target audiences. The project has 5 specific objectives (1) Integrate EURO-PERISTAT perinatal health indicators into European statistical systems (2)Establish a European Perinatal Health Surveillance Network (3)Develop capacity for high quality health reporting (4)Monitor trends and inequalities in perinatal outcomes and care in Europe (5)Expand EURO-PERISTAT`s geographical coverage.
