The Rocky Mountain Model System for Burn Injury Rehabilitation is a four year grant (1993-1997) funded by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research in the United States Department of Education.
The grant incorporates five major areas:
- Development of a Model System of Burn Injury Rehabilitation that is patient-centered and coordinated from the onset of the burn injury until the burn survivor is once again integrated into the community.
- Education of burn patients and their families, rural burn support teams, and other professionals.
- New areas of burn research including deconditioning of a burn patient, outcome measurements, and burn related immunologic studies.
- Surveillance of burns and development of programs to prevent burn injury.
- Development of a national database in coordination with the other two Model System in the United States.
Information about this Model System may be obtained by calling (303)-372-5603.
