In case you weren’t able to attend the Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center’s (DVBIC) Annual Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Training Conference this August, DCoE launched and distributed more than 900 copies of our newest clinical tool — Mild TBI Pocket Guide. The Mild TBI Pocket Guide, developed in collaboration with DVBIC, is a quick reference, all-encompassing resource for primary care and other TBI health care providers on the treatment and management of patients with mTBI and related symptoms in the continental United States.

Need to know how to assess the individual with mTBI who complains of headaches? Flip to the headache section. Need to know how to code initial and subsequent TBI visits? Flip to the coding section.

The pocket guide offers concise summaries of the clinical recommendations for those mTBI-related symptoms that are contained within the Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense (DoD) mTBI clinical practice guidelines and the updated DoD mTBI clinical guidance document.

If you’d like hard copies of the Mild TBI Pocket Guide, please contact DVBIC at info@dvbic.org or call 800-870-9244.
