Grant: Catalyst Grant - Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) is common, symptoms are often persistent, and resolution of symptoms is complex, often delayed, and a function of multiple physical, cognitive, and psychological variables. Implementation of early intervention programs is needed; however, limited evidence exists in the published literature to guide clinicians or patients. The following proposal seeks to address this issue by evaluating the sensibility, use and effectiveness of a novel electronic clinical decision support tool tool the Electronic Clinical Practice Guideline for mTBI as part of an early intervention designed to assist EDs in managing the wide range of patient variables that affect recovery from mTBI, in keeping with the mandates of CIHR.
