Inpatient rehab for moderate to severe traumatic brain injury is foundational to addressing the lifetime needs these patients will likely have. But only focusing on the immediate medical needs of these patients is short-sighted and fails to set up these patients and their family support for failure. This presentation will focus on how to discuss prognosis and expectations early in patients with brain injury as well as the resources and needs in our community for these patients.

After attending this breakout, you will be able to:

1) Analyze cases of TBI and be able to address pertinent issues which must be addressed in the medical management; and,

2) Explore the various roles and responsibilities as well as the lines of communication among prescribers, non-prescribers and the multi-disciplinary team which can facilitate compliance and optimal outcomes for each patient.
