What is the right solution to address the problems created by the 75 Percent Rule?
The Rule should be appropriately refashioned to maintain and preserve access to safe and effective inpatient rehabilitative healthcare that allows patients to regain or maintain their maximum level of independence in their daily lives. More focus should be placed upon the medical and rehabilitative needs of patients, with less focus on their medical diagnoses or conditions alone. Evidence produced by clinical-based studies and research should be pursued and used to appropriately refine the Rule.
