Acute TBI Rehabilitation: Treatment Approaches Associated with Better Outcomes

apa-logo_white_screenThe International Neuropsychological Society is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists. The International Neuropsychological Society maintains responsibility for this program and its content.
Educational Objectives
  1. List and describe three acute rehabilitation treatment approaches identified through comparative effectiveness research associated with better outcomes.
  2. Describe advantages and challenges of the three approaches during acute recovery.
  3. Describe potential contributions of preserved brain-based mechanisms following TBI that may partially account for the positive association of specific approaches with better outcomes.​​​​​​​

Abstract
Comparative effectiveness research is identifying treatment approaches delivered during acute inpatient TBI rehabilitation associated with better outcomes at hospital discharge and across the first year following injury. This webinar will present evidence for treatment associated with better outcomes following TBI and the collaborative role neuropsychologists can play in assisting interdisciplinary rehabilitation teams to implement these treatments and promote better patient outcomes.
