title: Implementing a back-to-rehab day.
abstract: This article discusses the process of planning and implementing an event during which former patients are invited to return to their acute inpatient rehabilitation facility to visit the treating team, provide information about their treatment satisfaction, participate in follow-up interviews, and measure the functional gains made since discharge. For staff members and former patients and their families, Back-to-Rehab Days are rewarding and educational experiences.
