ACS TBI Best Practice Guidelines 2024: Collaborative Partnership with ACRM to Improve Interdisciplinary Care for TBI Part 2: Implications for Rehabilitation 1166

The American College of Surgeons’ Trauma Quality Improvement Program (TQIP) and Committee on Trauma collaborated with ACRM and developed a formal collaborative partnership and endorsement supporting the new TBI BPGs. Members of the ACRM BI-ISIG were invited to sit on the committee of experts to devise the new TQIP TBI BPG edition. ACRM members contributed to guidelines and recommendations within the domains of prognosis, rehabilitation, outcomes, transition and systems of care. The updated 2024 edition includes a new dedicated chapter focused on rehabilitation. Rehabilitation recommendations include the need for early, interdisciplinary rehabilitation services, physiatry as key member of the primary trauma team and the benefit of transition to post-acute specialized rehabilitation programs. This symposium will be a continuation of Part 1 and specifically focus on the rehabilitation recommendations for verified trauma systems. Included content will provide an overview of the genesis of the ACS/ACRM partnership and overview of the BPG recommendations that ACRM BI-ISIG members played a key role in developing in the domains related to prognosis, rehabilitation in acute care and outcomes. Finally, this symposium will address the facilitators, barriers and action-steps required to implement new guidelines within trauma clinical care.
