title: Managing crisis in a rehabilitation facility.
abstract: When crisis occurs in a healthcare facility, it involves not only the individual and his or her family, but also staff and management personnel--and personnel often are as disoriented and confused by crisis as is the individual. Healthcare providers, trained to manage the crises of others, are often at a loss when confronted with crisis in their own facility. The purpose of this article is to provide an outline of a strategy rehabilitation managers can follow in the event of a crisis in their facility.
