PM&R BOLD: The American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation's strategic initiative to envision – and effectuate – The future of care across the rehabilitation care continuum

Establishing a clinical care pathway to expedite rehabilitation transitions for stroke patients with dysphagia and enteral feeding needs

“…Collaborative initiatives such as the one presented here can expedite rehabilitation transitions for stroke patients with dysphagia and enteral feeding needs, improve communication about dysphagia prognosis and rehab goals, and contribute much-needed longitudinal data on dysphagia recovery to the field of neurorehabilitation research. The American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation’s strategic initiative on the future of care across the rehabilitation care continuum (PM&R Bold) 23 emphasizes physiatrists’ expertise in managing the utilization of resources across the continuum of care. The complex decision making around enteral access options is an area where PM&R can make a major contribution.…”

Revisions to Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education’s Program Requirements for Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation: Input from the Tri-Organizational Graduate Medical Education Committee

“…Information from the American Academy of PM&R BOLD initiative, AAP workforce study, resident census surveys, and each TGC sponsor organization's member practice profiles, was reviewed throughout the process. [6][7][8][9][10] Based on these collective data, the TGC developed a PM&R practice framework, combining current and projected future practice states. Residency training recommendations derived from the data analysis were presented at the AAP's Residency and Fellowship Program Directors (RFPD) Workshop in 2020.…”

“…The review of current practice trends included an assessment of the types of conditions treated and procedures performed by physiatrists as well as a review of factors impacting physiatry practice, including competition, population health, payment models/coverage limitations, and the expanded healthcare settings of PM&R practice as well as the different roles that physiatrists provide within healthcare systems. Information from the American Academy of PM&R BOLD initiative, AAP workforce study, resident census surveys, and each TGC sponsor organization’s member practice profiles, was reviewed throughout the process 6–10 . Based on these collective data, the TGC developed a PM&R practice framework, combining current and projected future practice states.…”
