Definition
The proportion of secondary care hospitals that have two or more rehabilitation occupational groups. This includes any secondary care hospital-based rehabilitation service, whether at inpatient or outpatient clinics. Rehabilitation occupational groups include the seven common occupational groups listed in the rehabilitation personnel density indicator (Core indicator 4). The country's own definition of secondary hospital can be used, but such hospitals generally refer to those with 5 to 10 clinical specialties and whose size ranges between 200 and 800 beds; they are often referred to as a provincial, general or regional hospital.
