The American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine (ACRM) is dedicated to serving the needs of people with disabling conditions by providing research that: * promotes health, independence, productivity, and quality of life, * meets the needs of disabled people, * educates providers to deliver best practices, and * ensures future research projects are publicly funded. Mission
ACRM enhances the lives of people living with disabilities through a multidisciplinary approach to rehabilitation. As leaders in the physical medicine and rehabilitation field, we promote innovative research, new technologies, and sharing information, and encourage evidence-based practices in clinical settings. Leadership Role
ACRM creates forums to innovate all rehabilitation professionals, including clinicians, service managers, administrators, educators, and researchers. We call upon the leaders in rehabilitation to identify current best practices and best providers at all levels of care and share this information via education meetings and through publishing the Archives of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (Archives). The Archives is an acclaimed international journal covering the specialty of physical medicine and rehabilitation as well as interdisciplinary disciplines involved in rehabilitation. ACRM aims to provide multidisciplinary leadership and practice innovation to ensure that people living with chronic disease and disabilities have access to effective rehabilitation management throughout their lives. We serve as a forum for creating and discussing new treatment paradigms that define the composition of the rehabilitation team, the duration of care, and the venues required to achieve optimal functional outcomes for people with chronic disease and disabilities.
ACRM is dedicated to: • serving as advocates for public policy and legislative issues that support individuals with disabilities and providers of rehabilitation services,
• helping develop innovative and costeffective models of collaborative care and comprehensive rehabilitation management,
• leading research efforts that examine and identify the most effective clinical technology and treatment paradigms, and
• initiating dialogue with payers and regulators to communicate the collaborative care models that produce positive rehabilitation outcomes.
