National Rehabilitation Reporting System collects data from participating adult inpatient rehabilitation facilities and programs across Canada. The minimum data set contains clinical data on functional status, based on the 18-item FIM® instrument and additional elements that measure cognitive function and the performance of instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs). Facilities collect client data on admission and discharge from the inpatient rehabilitation program. They send the data directly to CIHI on a quarterly basis so it can be included in online comparative reports.
