Survey measures 330 3 $aImprovised explosive devices (IEDs) have been one of the leading causes of death and injury among U.S. troops. Those who survive an IED blast or other injuries may be left with a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and attendant or co-occurring psychological symptoms. In response to the need for specialized services for these populations, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) established the National Intrepid Center of Excellence (NICoE) in Bethesda, Maryland, in 2010. The NICoE's success in fulfilling its mission is impacted by its relationships with home station providers, patients, and their families. The RAND Corporation was asked to evaluate these relationships and provide recommendations for strengthening the NICoE's efforts to communicate with these groups to improve patients' TBI care. Through surveys, site visits, and interviews with NICoE staff, home station providers, service members who have received care at the NICoE, and the families of these patients, RAND's evaluation examined the interactions between the NICoE and the providers responsible for referring patients and implementing treatment plans. --$cSource other than Library of Congress. 606 $aSoldiers$xMedical care$xEvaluation$zUnited States 606 $aBrain$xEvaluation$xTreatment$xWounds and injuries$zUnited States 606 $aBrain Injuries$xtherapy 606 $aRehabilitation$xmethods 606 $aMilitary Medicine$xmethods 615 0$aSoldiers$xMedical care$xEvaluation 615 0$aBrain$xEvaluation$xTreatment$xWounds and injuries 615 12$aBrain Injuries$xtherapy. 615 22$aRehabilitation$xmethods. 615 22$aMilitary Medicine$xmethods. 700 $aAyer$b Lynsay$01245154 702 $aRyan$b Gery Wayne 702 $aBarnes-Proby$b Dionne 702 $aFarris$b Coreen 702 $aScharf$b Deborah M. 702 $aFarris$b Coreen 702 $aSkrabala$b Lauren 702 $aGeyer$b Lily 702 $aFarmer$b Carrie M. 712 02$aRand Corporation, 712 02$aNational Defense Research Institute (U.S.), 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910219970603321 996 $aCare transitions to and from the National Intrepid Center of Excellence (NICoE) for service members with traumatic brain injury$92889731 997 $aUNINA
