Article Synopsis
- - Inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs) play a vital role in helping individuals recover after acute care, but their admission criteria have not changed since the 1970s, limiting access for cancer patients even with evidence of their need for rehab.
- - The Biden administration's relaunch of the Cancer Moonshot in 2022 focuses on improving cancer patients' quality of life and highlights the need to reassess IRF admission and reimbursement practices.
- - By evaluating the current policies and considering alternative solutions, like modifying the eligibility criteria for IRF care, access for cancer patients could be significantly improved, potentially leading to better outcomes and long-term cost savings despite initial higher expenses.
Teamwork skills across disciplines are increasingly required for delivery of quality health care. To meet this expectation, healthcare professionals, researchers, policymakers, and educators must embrace and employ the tenets associated with teamwork. In addition, health professions faculty are expected to prepare entry-level professionals for interprofessional practice and scholarship.
