Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of the history and development of hospital-based injury and violence prevention (HIVP) programs within the context of US health and trauma care systems. We discuss historical and ongoing challenges faced by HIVP programs and the trauma center staff tasked with injury prevention duties. This chapter will also describe the current state of HIVP programs across the USA, including national practices on job roles and responsibilities. We offer a framework for HIVP program development informed by the national consensus-based Standards and Indicators for Model Level I and II Trauma Center Injury and Violence Prevention Programs and the Resources for Optimal Care of the Injured Patient (2022 Standards).
