Thirty-two injury prevention scientists and patient safety experts met from around the country to discuss the applicability of injury prevention principles to patient safety and to develop a research agenda using injury control and public health approaches to enhance current efforts to increase patient safety. The injury prevention approach signals an important change in how we view and combat the problem of patient safety. Participants discussed the utility of the phase factor matrix for both analysis of causal relationships and identification of intervention strategies. Recommendations for better more informative data were made and several specific research projects highlighting the utility of the injury prevention approach were made. The need to establish a research agenda for the application of injury prevention principles and applications emerged from this symposium, along with several specific recommendations for increased data, conceptualization of definitions and specific research areas that need to be addressed.
