REC

The REC is a collaboration between Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine's Department of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation and Craig Rehabilitation Hospital... Effective provider communication using MI skills has been found to increase patient engagement in health care, readiness to participate in health care and patient satisfaction with health care providers in several populations. Though MI is widely used in some health care settings like substance abuse treatment centers, it has not yet been widely implemented in rehabilitation settings due to the lack of rehabilitation-specific MI resources. There are few educational resources available for rehabilitation providers to learn MI and learn how to implement MI in rehabilitation settings. As experienced rehabilitation professionals, the REC team wanted to meet the needs of our rehabilitation community and fill this gap... The REC's mission is to assist rehabilitation professionals in delivering patient and family-centered care..
