Patient-Centered Care Transitions After Injury Hospitalization: A Comparative Effectiveness Trial.

Objective: The investigation aimed to compare two approaches to the delivery of care for hospitalized injury survivors, a patient-centered care transition intervention versus enhanced usual care.

Method: This pragmatic comparative effectiveness trial randomized 171 acutely injured trauma survivors with three or more early postinjury concerns and high levels of emotional distress to intervention (I; n = 85) and enhanced usual care control (C; n = 86) conditions. The care transition intervention components included care management that elicited and targeted improvement in patients' postinjury concerns, 24/7 study team cell phone accessibility, and stepped-up care.

Strategies to Address Unmet Needs and Facilitate Return to Learn Guideline Adoption Following Concussion.

Background: Many students do not receive return to learn (RTL) services upon return to academics following a concussion.

Methods: Using a mixed-methods approach, we conducted a survey of RTL practices and experiences in Washington State schools between January 2015 and June 2015. We then held a statewide summit of RTL stakeholders and used a modified Delphi process to develop a consensus-based RTL implementation model and process.
