    New regional spinal cord injury care systems in the US show promise. Evaluation strategies indicate these systems are effective and cost-saving.

    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare systems research
    • Spinal cord injury management
    • Health economics

    Background:

    • Regional care systems for spinal cord injury (SCI) are emerging in the United States.
    • There is a need to evaluate the effectiveness and cost of these new healthcare models.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a strategy for evaluating the effectiveness and cost of regional SCI care systems.
    • To report preliminary findings from an established regional SCI care system.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a basic evaluation strategy for regional SCI care.
    • Application of the evaluation plan to a specific regional SCI care system.

    Main Results:

    • The developed evaluation plan proved useful in assessing system performance.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Preliminary data suggest effectiveness and cost savings within the regional SCI care system.

    • Conclusions:

    • The evaluation strategy is a valuable tool for assessing regional SCI care systems.
    • Early results support the effectiveness and economic benefits of these specialized care systems.
