Evidence is increasingly being used as a prerequisite for reimbursement of services and is an ongoing mandate for rehabilitation clinicians. The use of evidence-based practice also can ensure that the most effective treatments are being provided to patients, which is fundamental to cost-effective, appropriate care. On September 18, CARF International will host a 90-minute webinar that will review easy-to-use, easy-to-access options for accessing evidence for stroke rehabilitative services. Upon completion, webinar participants should be able to:

• Identify reliable research sources on stroke and stroke rehabilitation.

• Discuss the importance and challenges of knowledge translation.

• Identify tools that address the concepts of impairment, activity, and participation.

• Identify tools that clinicians can use to make their patients and clients aware of ongoing clinical trials.

Register today for Medical Rehabilitation Webinar: Current Stroke Research to Access and Use in Clinical Practice, September 18, noon to 1:30 pm, ET.
