Rehabilitation Client Groups.

The indicator is calculated based on the Pain Score: the sum of the scores from data elements 59B (Intensity of Pain/Discomfort) and 59C (Activity Limitation Due to Pain/Discomfort). The score ranges from 4 to 9, where 4 is severe pain with most activities restricted and 9 is mild pain with no activity restrictions. This indicator is calculated using all records for which Presence of Pain (59A) = Yes on admission, and where the difference between Pain Score on admission and Pain Score on discharge is positive (i.e., a smaller number on admission than on discharge).
