Introduction: Concussion is a common emergency department (ED) presentation. Most patients improve with expectant management. A subset with risk factors for post-concussion syndrome (PCS) may require closer outpatient follow-up. A novel emergency department (ED)/head injury clinic (HIC) triaging system has been created to allow concussed patients rapid access to educational information and specialized consultant services. This system has been well received by patients and physicians alike; however, objective measures are needed to determine if this system ultimately decreases excessive healthcare utilization (HCU) and improves symptom management of PCS. Methods: Single centered prospective observational study. Control population of 42 mTBI patients referred to the HIC through the Ontario Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) Network within 3-12 months of injury. These patients have received little concussion education or treatment and will be compared to 50 concussion patients seen in the ED and HIC. Rivermead scores, a validated likert scale of PCS symptoms (1-4, maximum score of 64) and HCU (patient reported number of healthcare visits post injury) will be collected on their initial clinic visit and subsequent follow up phone interview. Results: Control ABI network patients were 50% male, mean age 40 yrs (18-90, ± 16.3) while 83% (35/42) reported >1 subsequent visit to ED or family physician and 39% (16/42) visited neurologist. Mean Rivermead Score was 32.6 (7-58, ± 12). Conclusion: A significant proportion of control patients utilized multiple healthcare resources and were still symptomatic 3-6 months following injury. Data collection is currently ongoing to determine if rapid outpatient follow-up and education decreases HCU and PCS symptoms.
