Abstract

We have briefly described the theoretic and strategic concepts of injury control and suggested ways for emergency medicine to be more broadly involved. It is not enough for emergency physicians to be active solely in the acute management of injured patients. Emergency physicians need to "look upstream" and balance their focus on the acute management of injuries with a focus on the prevention of injuries.
