Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) results in a significant number of deaths and disability annually. Most persons with moderate or severe TBI require services within a variety of settings, from the intensive care unit to the rehabilitation spectrum due to the natural history of the injury. A person with moderate-severe TBI may suffer from physical, cognitive, psychological, or spiritual impairments that create obstacles in each of these settings. The need for highly complex care places a major strain on resources within the Department of Defense, Veterans Health Administration, and civilian sector. Thus, coordinated care is required to create the best outcomes.
