Community reintegration program.
A specific program in practice for community reintegration of the patient with burns is described. It has been demonstrated that a gradual transition for the patient with burns between the acute care setting and active participation in family, leisure, and vocational roles enhances psychosocial and functional recovery. A systematic process of community reintegration within a rehabilitation setting can facilitate this transition for patient and family through Community Skills Training with a therapist and Community Skills Practice before the patient assumes outpatient status.
