The Model SCI System program has demonstrated that persons with SCI have greater opportunity for decreased morbidity and mortality if they are referred to a comprehensive SCI Center within 72 hours of injury. Cost savings are realized through decreased lengths of stay, as well as, the obvious cost savings of fewer complications and quicker return to living in the community. However, those admitted within 72 hours is declining. The RSCICDV admitted 45.2% of persons with SCI within 72 hours of injury in 2006 as compared to approximately 65% in 2000.
