Abstract
This presentation provides an overview of the Health Statistics and Informatics Branch and examines injury surveillance through hospital admission and emergency department (ED) data. Key injury trends are identified, alongside an analysis of ED data’s role in public health surveillance and its limitations. The discussion also addresses the significant burden on frontline staff, including potential vicarious trauma, and highlights the profound impact of injuries on Aboriginal families and communities
