Zero Preventable Deaths: Synthesizing Cutting-Edge Trends and Technologies in Military and Civilian Trauma Care
In collaboration with UNC, Womack Army Medical Center, and other academic and federal agencies – this full day AMSUS program will create a forum to save lives in the community and battlefield through the synthesis of industry, academia, and military medicine. Seminar Objectives: Explore emerging trends and technologies in civilian and military medicine for the management of trauma patients; establish a forum where military and civilian experts in trauma care can exchange ideas and explore collaboration; Provide examples of how military medicine has influenced civilian casualty care.
In 2016, the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM) published a landmark report that laid out an ambitious roadmap to achieve zero preventable injury deaths or disability. Titled ”A National Trauma System: Integrating Military and Civilian Trauma Systems to Achieve Zero Preventable Deaths after Injury,” the bold plan calls for the integration of military and civilian trauma systems to ensure that lessons learned from the military’s experiences in Afghanistan and Iraq are sustained and translated into the civilian system.
