Abstract

Rehabilitation is a multidisciplinary approach to helping patients overcome disability and reach their highest possible degree of performance after an acute medical event or surgical procedure. Effective rehabilitation involves a multidisciplinary team of health-care professionals who work together in complimentary fashion and communicate regularly. Comprehensive rehabilitation involves selecting the right setting that takes into account the care needs of the patient, cognitive status, and support systems. Rehabilitation can be offered through inpatient or outpatient services. Inpatient services include hospital rehabilitation units, long-term care hospitals, and skilled nursing facilities. Outpatient rehabilitation is conducted at home or in an ambulatory care setting. For Medicare to cover rehabilitation services, the patient must have a hospital stay of at least 3 consecutive days for a related illness or injury, known as a “qualifying stay.” Durable medical equipment plays an important role in rehabilitation.
