Interdisciplinary collaboration and coordination is vital to facilitate 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 will bridge the interdisciplinary gap from research to clinical implementation at the bedside.

Early rehabilitation of hospitalized patients can reduce muscle weakness, physical impairments and delirium. Yet achieving these outcomes is no simple task. Beyond understanding the science, it requires collaboration and coordination between clinicians who have traditionally worked in "silos." This conference will bridge the interdisciplinary gap from research to the bedside, and bring together clinical experts who are creating a culture based on proactive rehabilitation.

What Past Participants Are Saying

“I have attended three of the first four Johns Hopkins Critical Care Rehabilitation conferences. If I can go to one conference a year, this is by far the one I would choose. I always come away with new knowledge and contacts. Add to this the accessibility of the Johns Hopkins team and the days spent are well worth it!” - Cynthia K. Fine, MSN, CRRN, Clinical Program Coordinator - ICU Early Mobilization Program

“This conference provides excellent resources and networking opportunities for all health care professionals ... I learned a great deal from the interdisciplinary presentations, and the comprehensive discussions about the prevalence of delirium, post-traumatic stress disorder and post-intensive care syndrome in ICU survivors.” - Claudine Campbell, MOT, OTR/L, CLT, Occupational Therapy Manager, Rehabilitation Service
