Ongoing communication and care coordination are essential among patients, their family, and interdisciplinary rehabilitation team members to address the complex and changing rehabilitation needs of traumatic brain injuries. Family members of patients with traumatic brain injury commonly assume a caregiver role following discharge from inpatient rehabilitation. The Department of Veterans Affairs has adopted clinical video telehealth to promote access to care, and use of clinical video telehealth for rehabilitation is expanding. Recent implementation of home clinical video telehealth can assist with the ongoing management and treatment of patients in their home setting. This report demonstrates enhanced education and care coordination by using clinical video telehealth with a Veterans Affairs-eligible beneficiary receiving treatment for traumatic brain injury.
