The Problem
Understanding the challenge of recovery after traumatic brain injury
Every year, millions of people experience concussion or mild traumatic brain injury.
While many recover within weeks, a significant number develop persistent symptoms affecting cognition, balance, sleep, mood, and daily functioning. For these patients, recovery is rarely straightforward.
Care is often fragmented across multiple specialists with limited coordination. Most patients receive little structured follow-up after leaving the emergency department or hospital.
The result is a gap between acute injury care and the sustained, coordinated support that many patients need — and rarely receive.
A New Approach Exists
The TBI Post-Acute Care Collaborative is developing a coordinated model of care to address these gaps. Learn how the Collaborative model works.
