The Role of Nursing in Bridging Family Medicine and Emergency Care for Public Health Improvement

Abstract

It takes little convincing to convince emergency medical specialists that injury prevention is an important public health priority. Merely having clinical experience cultivates a deep comprehension of the impact that injuries have on kids and their families. Emergency medicine doctors' primary responsibility for treating acute injuries is giving way to a more comprehensive emphasis on prevention, which include advocacy, teaching, and research. Numerous injury prevention initiatives based in emergency departments (ED) have been established, and individual emergency medicine physicians have risen as leaders in the domain of injury prevention. Nonetheless, obstacles persist. There is a deficiency in the development of viable solutions that can be practically executed in a busy emergency department. The extension of the emergency healthcare provider's work outside the hospital into the community holds significant potential for success. This research aims to examine the present state of primary injury prevention in emergency care, the existing impediments, and potential areas for improvement.
