Utilization of Advanced Rehabilitation Technology (ART) in rehabilitation interventions sets Inpatient Rehabilitation Facilities (IRF) apart from other post-acute care, and which also results in achieving higher patient outcomes for certain conditions. This symposium and interactive forum discussion will highlight opportunities for utilization of ART in IRF and how that can be integrated to maximize rehabilitation outcomes. The targeted patient population will be those admitted for inpatient rehabilitation at Sheltering Arms Institute (SAI), however, the findings can be applicable to other rehabilitation settings.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion, participant will be able to 1. Understand utility of Advanced Rehabilitation Technology in Inpatient Rehabilitation settings.
2. Learn about strategies to improve standardization of use of ART and competency among clinicians.
3. Resources available for integrating use of ART in a rehabilitation setting.
