Assuming there is a positive financial benefit, what other benefits would the professional development of an acute rehabilitation unit (ARU) bring to our hospital?
• Acute rehab services generally provide a better alignment of patient needs with IPF-PPS reimbursement. Additionally, hospitals can expect better management of ALOS outliers as a result of patients in need of physical rehabilitation being transitioned out of medical/surgical beds more quickly. The appropriate development of hospital based physical medicine services also provides a needed service to the hospital’s service market area while adding an additional revenue source to the hospital’s bottom line.
