Definition
Percentage of patients with selected health condition who receive rehabilitation with appropriate intensity. The definition is operationalised through the selection of the health condition. For example, rehabilitation for hip fracture with surgical management in adults consists of mobilisation exercises most commonly delivered or overseen by a physiotherapist. It starts the day after surgery and the number of therapy sessions recommended is once a day while an inpatient.
Numerator
Total number of adults with hip fracture and surgical management that receive rehabilitation once a day while an inpatient.
Denominator
Total number of adult clients with hip fracture and surgical management.

Collection and Reporting Attributes
Type of Data Collection
Data Collection Methods
Method of measurement: Total number of adult clients with hip fracture and surgical management who receive rehabilitation once a day while an inpatient in all facilities in the country per year/total number of adult clients with hip fracture and surgical management in all facilities in the country per year x 100. Method of estimation/variation: Rather than use the total population of hip fracture patients in the country, it is possible to sample a number of facilities in the country to generate an estimate of this indicator. Preferred data sources: Ministry of Health, health facility audits, health insurance databases. Other possible data sources and related links: Tertiary level hospitals or specialist rehabilitation facilities.
