Join us for an interactive discussion on the “PM&R BOLD: A closer look at the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitationʼs strategic initiative to envision – and effectuate – the future of care across the rehabilitation care continuum” paper published in the PM&R Journal. This paper takes a closer look at the RCC envisioned future to illuminate how and why it was developed, the opportunities it presents for PM&R physicians and the strategic work needed to support the specialty’s progress toward this vision. Our co-hosts will be discussing RCC practice models, how these models can position physiatrists for success and more.

Goals:

• Introduce and discuss innovative RCC practice models that position physiatrists for success in the changing healthcare landscape while contributing to the triple aim of providing better care, improving health and lowering costs.
• Explore the RCC envisioned future developed through PM&R BOLD, how and why it was developed, the opportunities it presents for PM&R physicians and the strategic work needed to support the specialty’s progress toward this vision.
• Share case studies of how physiatrists are advancing toward the rehabilitation care continuum envisioned future, as well as highlight the benefits of moving rehabilitation care early and throughout the care continuum.
