Vision Zero - the prevention of traffic injuries and fatalities - is at it’s core, about the public’s health. Yet, when we think about the key players involved in Vision Zero implementation, we often think of City Hall, the police, DOT, the DMV, etc. This panel will examine the importance of empowering clinical leaders and health institutions such as health departments, hospitals, trauma centers, health insurance companies to serve as Vision Zero advocates and leaders in their communities. Panelists will articulate what leadership in the health sector on Vision Zero could and should look like. Topics will include:
Coordination around data and communications
Looking at the economics of traffic injuries and the role clinicians, health systems and public health departments can play in prevention
Leveraging clinician and health system advocacy
