Inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs) play a crucial role in the post-transplant care continuum. In this symposium, we will discuss how Brooks Rehabilitation successfully implemented the Brooks Rehabilitation Transplant Program aimed at enhancing clinical care processes and outcomes for patients with solid organ transplant. We will highlight our effective partnership with Mayo Clinic with enhanced care coordination between the acute and post-acute care transplant teams. Each presentation will describe specialized approaches to transplant rehabilitation through the different lenses of leaders from the acute care transplant team, inpatient rehabilitation facility admission, IRF clinical care teams, and quality and patient safety initiatives. Presenters will discuss program goals, development and refinement, facilitators and barriers to implementation, specialized rehabilitation services, and results from the initial 5 years of the program.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify the key components of a comprehensive transplant rehabilitation program.
• Describe facilitators and barriers to implementing a solid organ transplant program in an inpatient rehabilitation facility
• Learn strategies to improve care coordination between acute and post-acute organizations for transplant recipients
• Identify the key components of a comprehensive transplant rehabilitation program.
