  3. MISSION Improve the recovery of patients who suffer a brain or spinal cord injury through helping hospitals implement evidence-based medical care, assisting in the reengineering of their trauma systems to better treat neurotrauma patients and collaborating on clinical research to continuously improve the scientific foundations of evidence-based guidelines and protocols.

  4. MAKING our MISSIONa REALITY • Actively seek funding opportunities (grants, donations, corporate and government funding, etc.) to support IGEH/INRO’s mission specific projects; • Initiate, coordinate and manage funded projects and activities through out Europe and beyond, consistent with the IGEH/INRO mission

  7. SINCE our FOUNDINGin 1999 • Received a grant from British Council for exchange of scientists; • Prepared a proposal for EU COST activity (European Cooperation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research).

  8. HEALTHCARE QUALITY is the degree to which health services for individuals and populations increase the likelihood of desired health outcomes and are consistent with current professional knowledge Lohr KN, Harris-Wehling J.

BENEFITSOF TBI GUIDELINES PATIENT BENEFIT INSURER BENEFIT • THE MOST UP TO DATE CARE • PATIENT FAMILY ASSURED OF BEST CARE • REDUCED HOSPITAL DAYS AND COSTS • MARKED IMPROVEMENT IN PATIENT OUTCOME • LONG TERM DISABILITY DECREASED • QUALITY PRODUCT • LIABILITY • HOSPITAL COSTS • SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN LONG TERM COSTS

  20. SUMMARY • EBM increases quality of care through: • Reduced costs: both acute and long term care • Reduced poor outcomes • Increased good outcomes • EBM implementation requires • Focused approach to Quality Assurance • Organization and Management of patient tracking and feedback
