Online Brain Injury Screening & Support System (OBISSS)

Welcome to NASHIA’s OBISSS for the Tennessee Disability Coalition ~ Brain Links

What is the OBISSS? The OBISSS is an online screening system that determines a potential exposure to brain injury in someone’s lifetime and identifies any associated problems that are present.

The OBISSS will provide customized referral information and where to access additional resources and supports.

NASHIA manages the OBISSS through a secure, HIPAA-compliant data platform.

How does the OBISSS Collect Information? The OBISSS uses tested and reliable tools: the Ohio State University-Traumatic Brain Injury-Identification Method (OSU TBI-ID) and the Symptoms Questionnaire for Brain Injury (SQBI, formerly the Colorado Symptoms Questionnaire). The information is stored in a secure program. It can be used for:

Client Support:

  • Identify brain injury history
  • Determine program eligibility
  • Identify challenges and strategies with the individual
  • Provide strategies for you on how to support individuals with brain injury

Data:

  • Provide State data of brain injury in screeningsettings
  • Contribute to the larger picture of national lifetime history of brain injury
  • Leverage data collected to help inform program and policy in your setting
