The importance of poison data systems lies in their ability to provide real-time data on toxic exposures. This information is vital for:
1. Public Health Surveillance: Monitoring trends in poisonings helps identify outbreaks and emerging threats. 2. Clinical Management: Guiding healthcare providers with evidence-based treatment recommendations. 3. Research: Facilitating studies on the effects of various toxic substances and the efficacy of treatments. 4. Policy Making: Informing regulations and safety standards to prevent poisonings.
