80071191 - 15th Annual Johns Hopkins Critical Care Rehabilitation Conference

Thursday, November 5, 2026, 8:30 AM - Friday, November 6, 2026, 4:00 PM, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Turner Auditorium, Baltimore, MD


Interdisciplinary collaboration and coordination are essential to successfully facilitate early mobility and rehabilitation in the intensive care unit (ICU). A multidisciplinary stakeholder meeting focused on improving long term outcomes for ICU survivors identified persistent silos between critical care and rehabilitation clinicians as a significant barrier to advancing the field and optimizing patient outcomes. Despite growing evidence supporting early rehabilitation, inconsistent communication, workflow challenges, and cultural norms within ICUs continue to limit implementation. Effective ICU rehabilitation requires the intentional creation of a culture grounded in proactive rehabilitation principles and sustained interdisciplinary collaboration among intensivists, nurses, physical and occupational therapists, speech language pathologists, respiratory therapists, and other key team members. This activity is designed to address these gaps by fostering shared understanding, strengthening team based strategies, and promoting integration of evidence based rehabilitation practices into routine ICU care.

1. Appraise and apply current evidence supporting early rehabilitation and mobility interventions in critically ill adults, including considerations unique to patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and other advanced life support therapies.
2. Describe and integrate ICU specific rehabilitation strategies and mobility interventions appropriate for mechanically ventilated and critically ill adult patients across phases of critical illness.
3. Evaluate and differentiate the interdisciplinary roles of nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speechlanguage pathology within an adult ICU rehabilitation program, and apply principles of collaborative care to optimize patient outcomes.
4. Explain and implement evidence-based communication and swallowing assessment and management strategies for adult ICU patients, including those with prolonged intubation or tracheostomy.
5. Describe and incorporate best practices in sedation and delirium management that support early mobility, cognitive recovery, and long-term functional outcomes in adult ICU patients.
6. Develop strategies to engage and align hospital staff in promoting early activity and mobility, including approaches to overcoming cultural, operational, and workflow barriers within the ICU.
7. Analyze the short and long-term impact of ICU survivorship on patients and families, including functional, psychological, and socioeconomic challenges, and identify strategies to improve transitions of care and healthcare delivery in post ICU settings.
