A planning committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will organize and conduct a 1-to-1.5-day public workshop that brings together experts and key stakeholders to explore needs, practices, and models for post-acute follow-up care and symptom management in civilian adults discharged from emergency departments after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). The public workshop will feature invited presentations and discussions which may be designed to:

• Center and integrate patient and community perspectives and priorities on post-acute TBI care following emergency department discharge;
• Highlight opportunities for improved TBI outpatient symptom monitoring, management, and recovery;
• Consider potential lessons-to-be-learned from models and practices of at-home management for other medical conditions; and
• Explore the feasibility and health economics associated with implementing improvements to TBI post-acute follow-up care after emergency department discharge.

With the assistance of staff, the planning committee will develop the agenda for the workshop, select and invite speakers and discussants, and moderate the discussions. A proceedings of the presentations and discussions at the workshop will be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines.
