One of the main goals for effective care transitions for older adults is to reduce readmission. However, mobility problems often cause readmission if not fully addressed in this care transitions. Rehabilitation professionals like physiotherapists and occupational therapist are specifically educated and trained to address these mobility issues. Our overarching goal is to develop a care transition that includes mobility assessment before, during and after discharge. However, we need to examine the role of the physiotherapist, occupational therapist and other rehabilitation professionals within care transition frameworks, models, and theories.
