The Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation (JHTR) has partnered with The Center for Outcome Measurement in Brain Injury (COMBI) to introduce a new feature designed to support effective and informed use of standardised assessments for evaluation of brain injury. Published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, a part of Wolters Kluwer Health, JHTR is the official journal of the Brain Injury Association of America.
Beginning with the January 2012 issue, the journal will include regular profiles of assessments and instruments, drawn from the COMBI, for use in treatment and programme evaluation for patients with brain injury.
Under the new partnership, the JHTR will publish a new feature called ‘Tools for Clinical Use.’ The recurring feature will include profiles and updates on validated, standardised instruments from the COMBI. When possible, copies of the instruments will be made available on the JHTR website.
Each installment of 'Tools for Clinical Use' will highlight one of the many resources available from COMBI, introduced and discussed by Dr. Kolakowsky-Hayner and Jerry Wright. The January JHTR provides an overview and update on the Patient Competency Rating Scale (PCRS).
