Brain Injury Coping Skills (BICS) Group: Feasibility of a Telemedicine Model. This presentation will detail results from a study designed to test initial feasibility of a telemedicine based group intervention for brain injury rehabilitation. BICS is a well-established brain injury intervention, but has not been accessible to patients without clinic access. A telemedicine based group allows rural patients and those without transportation the opportunity to participate. Initial results will be shared as well as future directions.

Learning Objectives:

describe a group telemedicine intervention for brain injury rehabilitation.
describe how to initiate a group intervention via telemedicine including patient training, software/hardware requirements, and digital group management.
describe successful findings from a telemedicine group intervention and discuss translation to clinical service lines.
