We’re dropping a special episode this week ahead of the APTA Acute Care webinar on the new Core Outcome Measures Set.

Nicole and Leo sit down with Drs. Caitlyn Crandall and Lindsey Fresenko to break down how the COMs were developed, why these measures matter for acute care PT, and what clinicians can expect in next week’s webinar. It’s a short, focused conversation designed to help you bring clearer, more consistent measurement into practice.

“When mobility becomes culture… everything changes.”

In this moment, Vinh breaks down why ICU rehab succeeds when teams share the same expectations — and why PTs can’t drive culture alone.

🚶‍♀️ Advancing High-Intensity Gait Training in Acute & Inpatient Rehab
📅 November 19, 2025 | 🕘 9 p.m. ET | 💲 Free for all attendees

Despite strong CPG recommendations, adoption of High-Intensity Gait Training (HIGT) often faces barriers in knowledge translation and safety concerns.
Join experts from TIRR Memorial Hermann as they share a strategic “offense and defense” approach—advancing evidence-based HIGT practices while addressing safety through interdisciplinary collaboration and implementation science frameworks (KTA, CFIR, ERIC).

Gain practical insights you can apply in your own clinical setting to move evidence into action safely and effectively.
