The rehabilitation team employs a transdisciplinary approach to the rehabilitation process that addresses the medical, physical, cognitive, neuropsychological, and family needs of the patient.  Working together, physicians, therapists, and nurses develop individualized courses of treatment to help each patient set and reach practical, patient-focused goals.

 


 

Rehabilitation Nursing

Rehabilitation nurses provide 24-hour acute nursing care, closely monitoring medical and functional status, and teaching patients how to prevent or cope with problems associated with their condition. Many of CRH’s nurses are Certified Rehabilitation Registered Nurses (CRRN). They assist patients in applying skills learned in all areas of the rehabilitation program and focus on restoring and maintaining function, preventing complications, and avoiding further functional loss.
