Improve functional mobility, strength, independence, and outcomes in acute care rehab with the latest interventions.

Designed for all practice levels, from the new grad to the veteran acute care professional, this hands-on course will provide you with an updated knowledge base for making appropriate decisions within the ICU and acute care environments, implementing assessment and treatment tools, integrating existing treatment plans with progression into the plan of

Learn how to integrate treatments into rehab plans during acute and post-acute phases with the latest assessment techniques. The latest interventions, strategies, and best practices can be practiced in hands-on labs.

New treatments can be found.

• Early mobilization
• Management of lines, wires, and tubes
• Respiratory distress
• Intubation/Vent dependency

1. State the critical elements of analysis and assessment in mobilizing medically fragile patients.
2. Develop an appropriate plan of care for patients who present with a critically ill cardiac, neurological, or respiratory diagnosis.
3. Distinguish the characteristics, similarities of, and differences between, medically fragile and general acute care patients and methods to implement successful therapeutic interventions with each.
4. Demonstrate an understanding of the outcome tools available for assessment of the acute or critically ill patient.
5. Evaluate strategies for addressing the behaviorally challenging patient and successful methods for patient engagement.
6. Identify methods to effectively document progression throughout the acute care spectrum.
