These individuals require a comprehensive approach to care to help them achieve full independence and maximum recovery from their injuries. Current estimates suggest that more than 1.2 million individuals in the United States require care for burn injuries annually, and this number is significantly higher in many other countries throughout the world. Successful rehabilitation of a person with a burn injury requires a team approach in which each member provides essential resources and skills to help the individual transition from being a “victim” of a burn to being a functionally independent “survivor.” SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/11/08 UR - accessmedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1105131033 ER -
