Abstract

Background. Integrating age appropriate injury prevention messages during a well-child visit is challenging in the face of competing demands.

PURPOSE. To describe a 7-month pilot using technology to facilitate injury prevention risk assessment and education integration.

METHODS. We prospectively tracked responses to the computer-based injury prevention self-assessment tool, safety product distribution, and any subsequent contact with the local hospital system for related unintentional injuries.

RESULTS. A total of 2091 eligible visits by 1368 unique patients were assessed. Eight hundred forty-three unique patients completed the Safe N' Sound assessment and 7 were subsequently injured, with an injury related to a Safe N' Sound target area.

CONCLUSIONS. A kiosk-based tailored injury assessment tool can be successfully integrated into a busy pediatric practice. Unintentional injury outcomes can be linked to the tailored anticipatory guidance and can identify the effectiveness of this electronic integration of injury prevention messaging into well-child examinations.
