Injury Surveillance System (ISS)

An Injury Surveillance System (ISS) is a structured method used to collect, analyze, and monitor data about injuries that occur in a specific population or setting. Its purpose is to identify patterns, causes, and risk factors associated with injuries, which helps public health officials, healthcare providers, and organizations develop effective prevention strategies. By tracking injuries over time, ISS provides valuable insights into trends and the effectiveness of safety measures, ultimately aiming to reduce injury rates and improve safety standards across communities and industries.
