Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center
Trauma Brain Injury Program The Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Program was created to optimize care for patients with serious brain injuries. This program creates a continuum of care for these patients - from life-saving efforts in the Emergency Department, Operating Rooms, and Intensive Care Unit, to maximizing the patient's day-to-day ability to function through rehabilitative care. Elements of the program include around-the-clock attending neurosurgeon coverage to respond to all major resuscitations, continuity of care, and neuro-psychologist consults. These efforts result in decreased length of stay in critical care and advances in recovery of patients in acute units. The program staff include two nurse practitioners and a neuroscience clinical nurse specialist to provide continuity of care. TBI Program Staff
