Its purpose is to support staff with data collation to feed into an important national programme – Information Sharing to Tackle Violence (ISTV) .  \nResearch shows that violence-related injuries treated in the ED decreases by up to one-third when data is collated effectively.  \nYou can help reduce violence in your area by encouraging ED staff to consistently and accurately record information patients are routinely asked every day. When we know where and how people are injured, up to one-third of injuries from violence can be prevented.  \nInformation is then shared with community safety partnership teams – a system that helps prevent violence-related injuries, especially knife and gang related assaults.  \nISTV can lead to safer places for us all and everyone has an important role to play. What you do really can make a difference.  \nA new Standard Operating Procedure has been established, with supporting documentation.  \nISTV Standard Operating Procedure  \nISTV Standard Operating Procedure FAQs  \nISTV Standard Operating Procedure Factsheet  \nISTV Standard Operating Procedure Checklist  \nMore on RCEM’s website.  \nResearch has shown that in departments that collect this data effectively, violencerelated injuries treated in the ED decrease by up to one-third.  \nISTV uses the information that we routinely collect in the emergency department to prevent further violence and injury.  \nLet’s go through an example to explain. Jim presents to the ED following an argument outside a nightclub. Jim was punched resulting in injuries to his face.  \nHe was assessed, treated and discharged home.  \nWe know that is system prevents violence-related injuries, especially knife and gang related assaults.  \nAbout 3/4 of people injured through violence and treated in EDs don’t tell the police-so the information you collect and share anonymously contributes vital pieces of a jigsaw.  \nJim never reported the assault to the police. But because the details of where and what happened were properly recorded in the ED, this anonymised information could be shared with the community safety partnership team.  \nBuilding a bigger picture-this reveals the places and times that violent injury occurs in our communities. These violence hotspots are only revealed if we accurately record the time and geographical place where the injury occurred.  \nTogether with policing and local authority data, it’s clear that the club is a hotspot for anti-social behaviour. So, increased security and community safety measures can be put in place.  \nThis means fewer people with serious injuries attending the ED and safer places to live for us all.  \nCollecting this information really does help save lives- \\#ISTV","cbCaikYvtgCuGZ0b","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikYvtgCuGZ0b","pdf",1288480,"English","# For clinical staff - why ISTV is so important\n## Data collation and recording patient information\n## Sharing information with community safety partnership teams\n## Example: Jim’s ED presentation and anonymised reporting\n## Building a bigger picture: hotspots by place and time","[{\"question\":\"What is the ISTV programme and why does it matter for ED clinical staff?\",\"answer\":\"ISTV is a national information-sharing programme designed to tackle violence.
