The history of the development of comprehensive systems of care for treatment of survivors of traumatic brain injury is reviewed in relation to publications in The Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation (JHTR). This development has drawn from multiple other areas of clinical endeavor and has extended the range of services from an acute inpatient focus to include multisite delivery and lifetime supported living aspects. Widespread implementation of this comprehensive system approach continues to lag because of coordination and financing challenges. The history and details of these developments are comprehensively reflected in the published articles of JHTR over the past 20 years.
