The Boston-Harvard Burn Injury Model System is a unique collaboration of the vast clinical and research resources of Harvard Medical School, the Mass General Brigham System (Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Brigham and Women's Hospital) and key burn community stakeholders. The goal of this 5-year project is to provide a multidisciplinary comprehensive system of care for individuals with burns that fosters burn rehabilitation research. We serve a large volume of people with burns regionally and internationally. Our objectives include: 1) contribute to the Burn Model System National Database; 2) conduct a site-specific research project; 3) propose and participate in at least one module research project; 4) include a representative sample of people with burn injury from racial and ethnic minority backgrounds in studies; 5) conduct all project activities with integral participation of burn survivors and other persons with disability; and 6) partner with the Model Systems Knowledge Translation Center (MSKTC) to provide dissemination activities utilizing cutting-edge and accessible methods. Anticipated outcomes include: 1) enroll 45 participants annually to the national database; 2) conduct the Chronic Conditions Life Impact Management in Burn randomized controlled trial; 3) propose a module project that identifies resources and examines the resource gaps, barriers, and facilitators for burn survivors as they transition to living in the community; 4) ensure representative study samples with leadership of our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Director; 5) staff advisory board with community stakeholders; 6) disseminate multiple activities with the MSKTC. The expected products include dissemination of scientific findings and educational programs to clinical and consumer audiences to improve the lives of people with burns.
