Re-Imagining Rehabilitation Care and Research at AbilityLab: The Future of RIC #843
1 NOV
LOCATION: Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago
345 E. Superior Street, Chicago (2-mile independent commute)
Be among the very first to hear about a new and innovative model of care that will transform how we talk about rehabilitation. This off-site lecture and tour will teach participants about cutting-edge concepts developed at RIC that integrate research directly into clinical practice. By literally breaking down the walls between science and clinical care, the Ability Institute, RIC’s new research hospital, is making a $550 million investment to change the way research is conducted, accelerate clinical breakthroughs, and improve patient outcomes.
Hear directly from the researchers and clinicians who built this advanced knowledge translation concept over the past 7 years, and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Joanne C. Smith, who will discuss how these innovations are being adopted in the new hospital. Participants will have the opportunity to tour the AbilityLab prototype on the 9th floor of RIC.
