To provide high-quality, cost-efficient brain injury care, hospitals must build advanced informatics environments that support caregivers’ needs for comprehensive patient data to support decision making.
Careful planning and a shared vision are key for the creation of a multimodal neuromonitoring program. Stakeholders from different departments need to work as a team in all phases of the project (initiation, planning, implementation, and evaluation), each contributing to the successful development of the project.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability in the world. Despite extensive research investment, there have been no major successes in clinical trials for severe TBI in the past 30 years. Inevitably, Neuroscience ICUs will need to embrace an information-intensive approach to patient management to improve care.
