*Function is measured by the FIM, a global functional measure of patient abilities. Higher numbers = better function.

In summary Riverside Rehabilitation Institute (RRI) patients, overall are slightly older, are admitted to rehab sooner, and are discharged back to the community at a similar rate than the Regional and National compari-son. RRI patients have comparable functional gains and are rehabilitated at a much lower charge.

REGIONAL AND NATIONWIDE
