INTRODUCTION: The neurosurgical intervention rate for complicated mild traumatic brain injury (cmTBI) is less than 1%. However, the absence of transfer guidelines and fear of malpractice results in unnecessary transfers of cmTBI patients to tertiary referral centers. METHODS: Between April 2021 and March 2023, we implemented a Tele-TBI at three community hospitals for cmTBI patients seen in the emergency department (ED). An interprofessional telehealth-based consultation between emergency medicine and neurosurgery determined if a patient needed to be transferred to the Level-1Trauma Center or could be cared for at the community hospital. A retrospectively chart review was used to determine if transfers were unnecessary. Transfer rates were compared for patients from hospitals with and without the Tele-TBI protocol. RESULTS: Out of 822 cmTBI patients seen in our ED, 73% (n = 602) were transferred from other hospitals. The mean age of transferred patients was 67.5 (±19.9) and median GCS was 15. During this time, 128 Tele-TBI consultations were performed. The mean age was 75.7 (±16.2), and median GCS was 15. The overall transfer rate was decreased by 89% (n = 15/128) when Tele-TBI consultations were initiated. Tele-TBI-enabled hospitals had significantly fewer (p < 0.001) unindicated transfers (28.7%, n = 66 versus 71.3% n = 164) and led to fewer (p = 0.003) transferred patients discharged directly from the Level-1Trauma Center ED (28.6%, n = 66 versus 72.3%, n = 173). ICU admissions and frequency of neurosurgical intervention did not differ between hospitals with or without tele-TBI implementation. CONCLUSIONS: Interprofessional telehealth-based consultation can effectively triage patients with cmTBI presenting to community hospitals, leading to fewer unnecessary transfers with similar rates of ICU admissions and neurosurgical interventions.
