This indicator shows the age-adjusted number of emergency department visits for nonfatal injuries of all intents that were not admitted to the hospital or transferred to another facility, per 100,000 people.
Why is this important?
Each year in the United States, millions of people are treated in emergency departments for injuries. Considering both medical costs and lost productivity, injuries cost the United States approximately $409 billion annually. Beyond immediate health consequences, injuries affect the health of the nation through premature death, poor mental health, lost productivity, and disability. Injuries are the leading cause of disability regardless of age, gender, race/ethnicity, or socioeconomic status. When someone is injured, it affects more than just that individual. With nonfatal injuries, family or friends are often called upon to care for the injured person, and employers may struggle in the absence of the employee. While some injuries are unavoidable, many are predictable and preventable.
