The Basics: Creating and Sustaining an Early Rehabilitation Program

3rd Annual Johns Hopkins Critical Care Rehabilitation Conference (Part 1 of 2)*

Presented by The Department of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine

Interdisciplinary collaboration and coordination is vital in facilitating early mobility and rehabilitation in the intensive  care unit (ICU) setting. A recent stakeholders’ conference aimed at improving long-term outcomes for ICU survivors identified important ‘silos’ among critical care and rehabilitation clinicians working in the ICU, with these ‘silos’ acting as a barrier to collaboratively advancing the field and improving patient outcomes. While clinical trials support the benefits of early rehabilitation for mechanically ventilated patients, implementing these interventions requires creating a new ICU culture based on proactive rehabilitation and interdisciplinary collaboration between all critical care and rehabilitation clinicians.

This course consists of recorded sessions from the Third Annual Johns Hopkins Critical Care Rehabilitation Conference held in November 2014.
