Post-Traumatic Scalp Injury Care Coordinator Service (Virtual + In-Home)

A specialized care coordination service that assigns each patient a trained scalp-injury care coordinator (RN or PA background) who owns the case end-to-end: conducts detailed injury history, coordinates all specialist appointments, manages imaging/lab ordering, synthesizes findings into a coherent diagnosis hypothesis, and ensures the patient follows the treatment plan. Coordinator works via phone/video + occasional in-home visits to assess wound status, fluid characteristics, and pain patterns; coordinates with patient's existing providers (PCP, neurologist, surgeon) to align on diagnosis and next steps.

Original Problem

Chronic post-traumatic scalp complications with unclear diagnosis and no effective treatment pathway

Patients with persistent symptoms from old head injuries (pain, fluid discharge, bleeding) face years of unresolved medical issues with no clear diagnosis or treatment plan. Current healthcare systems fail to connect these chronic sequelae to the original injury, leaving patients cycling through specialists without answers. The lack of specialized post-traumatic scalp injury protocols means patients suffer ongoing physical symptoms and psychological distress without access to targeted interventions.
