Abstract

Standardizing institutional guidelines for management of traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients is a critical endeavor for guiding clinical decision making and optimizing healthcare resource utilization. Current paradigms, such as the Brain Injury Guidelines, face broad concerns regarding the need for validation in complex patient populations and resource-limited settings. Villareal et al’s study1 provides a timely, well-executed approach to translating quality-improvement observations into measurable systems-level changes.
