Objective: Behavioral changes following moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (MSTBI) are common and can include agitation or aggression, reduced arousal or apathy, and inappropriate sexual behavior. These changes can negatively affect recovery, function, and quality of life. Pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions are often used to address these challenges; however, there is limited evidence regarding the effectiveness of these treatments.

The objective of this initiative was to update recommendations on the assessment and management of mental health conditions for the Canadian Clinical Practice Guideline for the Rehabilitation of Adults with MSTBI (CAN-TBI 2023).
Objective: Design: A systematic search was conducted by the Evidence-Based Review of Moderate to Severe Acquired Brain Injury to identify new and relevant articles.
Background: Though telemedicine is a promising approach for removing barriers to care and improving access for patients, telemedicine use for many medical specialties has decreased from its peak during the acute COVID-19 public health crisis. Understanding the barriers and facilitators to the maintenance of web-based visits-one key component of telemedicine-is critical for ensuring the continuous availability of this service for patients.
Objective: The purpose of this study is to describe medical providers' perceived barriers and facilitators to the continued use of web-based visits to inform quality improvement efforts and promote sustainability.
Background: Telehealth is being adopted by health systems across the country and many barriers to the expansion of video visit programs have been identified. Our study focused on the usability of video visit technology by examining technical challenges faced by patients over the course of a video visit.
Methods: We conducted a survey of patients who received care from the Michigan Medicine video visit program from January 31, 2019 to July 31, 2019.
