Definition of trauma
• Trauma is tissue damage caused by the transfer of energy to the body above or below the tolerance of human tissue

Main concept
• Trauma is a disease that can be prevented or its negative impacts decreased, or both, by primary, secondary, or tertiary prevention efforts.

THE THREE PHASES OF INJURY PREVENTION
• PRIMARY PREVENTION: PRE-INJURY
• SECONDARY PREVENTION: AT THE TIME OF INJURY
• TERTIARY PREVENTION: POST-INJURY

TRAUMA SYSTEMS AND INJURY PREVENTION
• Historically, trauma centers focused on tertiary prevention.
• The trauma system, in contrast, should contribute to reducing the entire burden of injury.
• Therefore, it should integrate all three phases of injury prevention into planning and practice.

Paradigm Shift in Trauma Care
Old Thinking New Thinking
Trauma is a “surgical disease” Trauma is a “team” disease
Exclusive: trauma care must focus on a subset of the most seriously injured patients that are threatened by death
Inclusive: trauma care must focus on all injured patients to reduce not only death but also disability and costs to society
“Trauma Centers” save lives “Trauma Care Systems” save lives, reduce disability, and costs
Competition among hospitals for “designation”
Cooperation among hospitals to assure broad system safety net access and effective stabilization and transfer
