A planning committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will host a one-day public workshop to be conducted jointly with Northwell Health and the PEACE Initiative. The workshop will bring together firearm injury prevention thought leaders to explore how hospitals, health systems, and the healthcare industry at large can integrate interventions for firearm injury prevention into routine care for the purpose of improving the health of patients and communities.
The workshop will explore a broad range of topics including:

• The state of evidence on healthcare strategies to reduce firearm injury and mortality
• Barriers to implementing healthcare strategies:

o Patient/survivor perceptions and barriers to discussing firearm injury prevention with clinical team members
o Provider perspectives

• Factors that facilitate the implementation of healthcare strategies
• How to adapt and implement public health and harm reduction strategies across a variety of healthcare settings (emergency rooms, surgery, primary care settings)
• The need for diverse perspectives in shaping healthcare firearm injury harm reduction strategies:

o Patient/survivors
o Owners of firearms
o Community based voices (community-based organizations)

• Key elements of a healthcare industry roadmap for overcoming barriers to integrating harm reduction and public health strategies around firearm injury prevention into routine care

A planning committee will plan and organize the workshop, select and invite speakers and discussants, and moderate the discussions. A proceedings of the presentations and discussions at the workshop will be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines. The proceedings will be subject to an appropriate review procedure prior to release.
