New Mexico Emergency Department Data Query Measure Selection
New Mexico ED Visits Data
The emergency department visit data in this IBIS-Q query module are maintained by the New Mexico Department of Health, Health Systems Epidemiology Program in the Epidemiology and Response Division. They include all non-federal acute care emergency department visits in New Mexico.Population Data
{{class RedText NOTE: New Mexico population estimates data for 2025 were added to the query on August 30, 2026. }} On January 16, 2025, the NM-IBIS POPULATION ESTIMATES FOR YEARS **2010 THROUGH 2023** WERE REPLACED. Data from the 2020 decennial census were used to update the estimates. Rates calculated using the NM-IBIS web-based queries are affected. Any rates that use population denominators that were calculated after January 16, 2025 will be different from those calculated prior to that date. We apologize for the inconvenience.Getting Started

ED Injury Queries
Queries in this section filter the data based on injury mechanism and intent. An injury emergency department visit has a primary diagnosis related to an anatomical diagnosis (e.g., fractured femur) and multiple "external cause" codes, or E-Codes, based on injury mechanism (e.g., fall) and intent (e.g., unintentional, assault, self-harm).
