    Author: Mullner R, Killingsworth C, Matthews D, Byre CS.
    Journal: Arch Phys Med Rehabil; 1980 Aug; 61(8):341-45. PubMed ID: 7406671.
    Abstract:
    This survey by questionnaire was conducted by the Hospital Data Center of the American Hospital Association. The survey universe consisted of 516 hospitals; of these, 416 (80.6%) completed the questionnaire. The responding hospitals are classified into 4 categories: 1) independent rehabilitation hospitals, 2) self-contained rehabilitation hospitals within larger medical centers, 3) defined rehabilitation units of institutions, and 4) no formalized units. The survey yielded information concerning: 1) utilization, and predicted future trends in utilization; 2) referral sources of admissions; 3) the areas to which patients are discharged (their homes, nursing homes, etc); 4) the classes of fulltime equivalent personnel and their relative proportions, and those types of personnel that hospitals would most like to hire if it were possible to do so; 5) the sources of payment for inpatient claims, and problems with reimbursement; and 6) other findings including the use of beds designated for rehabilitation for other types of patients, and the number of fulltime administrators and of fulltime medical directors.
