Abstract:
Changes in the health care system have created new opportunities for acute care nurses to establish collaborative relationships with their rehabilitation partners. When a rehabilitation facility decided to establish a ventilator weaning rehabilitation program, an acute care facility joined forces with the institution to develop an educational plan for the nursing staff. The development and implementation of the educational program as well as the collaborative relationship established between the two facilities are highlighted in this continuing education article.
