    Novel aspects of the CHW experimental intervention for TBI care partners include: 1. CHW services begin prior to inpatient rehabilitation discharge; 2. care partners get timely, useful health management materials; 3. encounters focus on unlimited, brief, situation-focused calls to help care partners assess and resolve pressing concerns; and 4. long-term support capacity for care partners is built by establishing a reliable referral network of medical, community, and social services that become foundational resources beyond study completion.

Study Details

TBI rehabilitation care transitions refer to the processes of preparing patients, families, and community-based healthcare providers for the patient's passage from inpatient rehabilitation to the home and community or to another level of care. Persons with TBI have heterogenous neurological impairment (cognitive and behavioral foremost, along with motor, sensory, and balance), that limits their functional independence and participation, and increases their risk for secondary medical conditions, injuries, rehospitalizations and early mortality
