Burn Injury Model Systems
The Burn Injury Model Systems (BIMS) are funded by the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR). The Burn Model Systems are called "model systems" because they are national leaders in burn-related care and research.
Each year, about one million Americans sustain a burn injury - of these injuries, 45,000 are serious enough for hospitalization. Severe burns are one of the most complex forms of trauma injury and often require long-term rehabilitation. A person with a burn injury often suffers from a wide range of physical and psychosocial problems that can affect his or her ability to function.
There are 4 BIMS centers across the United States, each providing the highest level of comprehensive and multidisciplinary care from point of injury through rehabilitation and full community re-entry. In addition to these four centers, the Burn Model Systems National Database directs the collection, management, and analysis of a longitudinal national burn database.
