Webinar: Aging America — Is Your Rehab Program Ready for the Evolution?

Due to the aging population, rehab programs will experience a major influx of medically complex patients. This leaves rehab leaders with one significant question: What can be done to prepare for the increase? By evolving to meet the needs of this changing population, rehab programs can meet the challenge and achieve greater performance standards.

Join this webinar to discover the three evolving areas of rehab that have the greatest impact on treating medically complex patients:

1. Clinicians and staff
2. Technology innovation
3. Changes in regulation and reimbursement
