With implementation of Centers for Medicare and Medicaid’s Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program, which lowers payments to hospitals with high 30-day readmission rates, hospitals have a financial incentive to improve hospital-to-home care transitions. Brain injury is a leading cause of 30-day hospital readmissions. Traditional discharge planning has not met the needs of brain injury survivors and caregivers especially Latinas/os whom experience worse rates of depression and caregiver burden. Trabajadora de Salud, a bilingual, bicultural, 90-day home visitation, family-focused, care transitions intervention, has demonstrated efficacy in improving outcomes among Latinas/os with brain injuries and their caregivers. This study described three case examples from the intervention to illustrate common needs among Latinas/os with brain injuries and methods of intervention
