The Carolinas Traumatic Brain Injury Rehabilitation and Research System (CTBIRRS) is a comprehensive service delivery and research system serving individuals with TBI. The System begins with prevention and emergency medical services and extends through intensive care, acute care, and comprehensive medical rehabilitation to long-term follow-up, community reintegration and vocational rehabilitation. The project is based on the solid integration of Carolinas Medical Center and Carolinas Rehabilitation with the community, serving over 270,000 North and South Carolina residents with TBI.
