Outpatient care following traumatic brain injury (TBI) is variable, and often sparse. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine’s 2022 report on ‘Traumatic Brain Injury: A Roadmap for Accelerating Progress’ highlighted the need to improve the consistency and quality of TBI care in the community. The Action Collaborative on TBI Care was formed under the auspices of the National Academies to implement recommendations from the roadmap report, including to synthesize existing clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for ‘mild’ TBI.

Objective: To standardize post-acute clinical management of community-dwelling adults with TBIwho are able to care for themselves at hospital discharge (including those discharged directly from the emergency department) or who did not require acute hospital care, by synthesizing existing CPGs.

Learning Objectives:

Discuss the need for follow up with standardized, evidence-informed post-acute concussion clinics.
Explain the process utilized by the NASEM Action Collaborative on post-acute concussion follow up.
Identify the 11 priority topics of the NASEM action collaborative post-concussion follow up initiative.
Discuss the Clinical Practice Guideline recommendations comprising 11 priority topics of the NASEM action collaborative post-concussion follow up initiative.
